Parkinson's brain signals study during DBS surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at brain signals in people with Parkinson's who are already scheduled for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery. The goal is to better understand how certain brain pathways work, which could lead to improved treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease that started for no known reason (idiopathic).
- You and your doctor have decided that you will have Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery at the University of Minnesota.
- You are between 21 and 75 years old.
- You do not have any other major brain or nerve disorder besides Parkinson's.
- You do not have dementia.

This study is testing a specific approach to deep brain stimulation (DBS) for people with Parkinson’s disease who are getting DBS surgery as part of routine care. It may help doctors learn whether circuit-based, more targeted stimulation is safe and useful for Parkinson’s symptoms.
This study looks at brain signals during awake deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson's disease. The goal is to learn how these signals can help guide the placement of electrodes to improve treatment.
This study records brain activity during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson's disease to better understand how the brain controls actions. It might help improve future treatments.
This study looks at how the brain “filters” sensory information in people with advanced Parkinson’s disease, using brain imaging and deep brain stimulation (DBS) that you may already be getting as routine care. The goal is to better understand what drives Parkinson’s symptoms and how DBS might affect the brain.
This study follows people with Parkinson's disease who are having a surgical procedure called deep brain stimulation (DBS), where thin electrodes are placed in the brain to help control movement symptoms. Researchers will track how well the surgery works and how it affects daily activities.
This study tests a new way to measure brain signals during Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson's disease. It uses special leads that can sense brain activity, which may help doctors better adjust the stimulation in the future.
