EEG and delirium risk in Parkinson's surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial uses EEG (a brain wave test) during deep brain stimulation surgery to see if certain brain activity patterns can predict postoperative confusion or delirium.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
- You are scheduled for planned (not emergency) brain surgery to implant a deep brain stimulation (DBS) device.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are not already confused or delirious before surgery (doctor will check with a short test).
- You are willing to have a small sensor on your head before and during the surgery.

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 trial studies how brain cells in a specific area (the prefrontal cortex) affect thinking and planning in people with Parkinson's disease who are getting deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. The goal is to learn more about brain function to improve future treatments.
This study uses special recordings during deep brain stimulation surgery to better understand how movement gets easier in Parkinson’s disease. It may help researchers improve how this therapy is used for advanced 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 looks at how brain connections involved in movement may relate to thinking and memory problems in Parkinson’s disease. It happens during a deep brain stimulation (DBS) operation, using tests while the surgeon is placing an electrode.
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.
