Predicting confusion after brain surgery for Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether brain wave activity (measured by an EEG, a test that records brain signals) during surgery can help predict confusion after surgery in people with Parkinson's. Participation involves wearing a small sensor during your scheduled DBS surgery, which may help doctors better understand and prevent post-surgery confusion.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
- You are scheduled to have elective (planned, not emergency) brain surgery to implant a deep brain stimulation (DBS) device.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are not currently confused or disoriented before the surgery (no delirium).
- This is not a repeat surgery for the same procedure.

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 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 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 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 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.
