Adaptive deep brain stimulation for freezing of gait in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests an adaptive deep brain stimulation (DBS) system designed to improve freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease. It is for people who still have trouble walking despite medications and are already planning to have DBS surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 21 and 75 years old.
- You have had Parkinson's disease for at least 3 years and experience freezing of gait (feeling stuck when trying to walk).
- Your Parkinson's symptoms are severe enough that your doctor recommends deep brain stimulation surgery.
- You do not have major memory or thinking problems (must score 21 or higher on a thinking test).
- You do not have medical conditions like bleeding disorders, seizures, or heart disease that make surgery risky.

This trial tests whether CereGate therapy can reduce “freezing of gait,” a walking problem, in people with Parkinson’s disease who already have deep brain stimulation (DBS). If you meet the device and medication stability requirements, the study may help your walking and movement symptoms measured during testing.
This study looks at how the brain controls walking and freezing of gait in people with Parkinson's disease who have deep brain stimulation (DBS). It aims to help understand why freezing happens and improve treatments.
This study tests a new type of deep brain stimulation (DBS) that automatically adjusts to your walking or balance issues. It uses your brain's own signals to improve movement.
This study looks at how a special brain pacemaker (called the Medtronic Percept device) affects walking problems like freezing of gait in people with Parkinson's. It aims to help understand and improve treatment.
This study tests a brain surgery treatment (deep brain stimulation) to help improve gait problems such as freezing of walking, gait instability, or falls in people with Parkinson’s disease. It may help people whose walking symptoms are not well controlled by levodopa (a common Parkinson’s medicine).
This study tests a brain-computer interface device to help people with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait. The goal is to see if the device can reduce freezing episodes when medication isn't enough.
