Ultrasound brain stimulation for movement disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests if low-intensity ultrasound can safely change brain activity patterns in people with movement disorders like Parkinson's. You may be eligible if you already have a special brain implant that can record brain signals.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have an implanted Medtronic Percept or similar brain device that can measure brain signals.
- You must be willing to receive ultrasound pulses on your head.
- Your medications must have been stable for the past 6 weeks.
- A specific brain signal (beta peak) must be detectable on a screening test.

This trial tests whether a non-invasive ultrasound treatment, called transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation (tFUS), can improve movement and thinking in people with Parkinson's disease. It may be an option for those whose symptoms are not well controlled by medication alone.
This trial uses focused ultrasound to treat tremor and movement problems in Parkinson's disease. It targets a specific brain area without surgery, and may help if your symptoms are worse on one side and not fully controlled by medication.
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment using focused ultrasound to target a small area in the brain that helps control movement. It aims to reduce Parkinson's symptoms like tremors, stiffness, and involuntary movements, and is for people who have had Parkinson's for a while and are already taking medication.
This trial tests a noninvasive ultrasound treatment targeting a brain area called the pedunculopontine nucleus to help reduce freezing of gait (a sudden inability to walk) in Parkinson's disease. If you have Parkinson's and experience freezing, you may be eligible to try this new approach.
This study tests a new, non-surgical treatment using low-intensity focused ultrasound to target areas in the brain affected by Parkinson's disease. The goal is to see if it can safely improve symptoms without the need for implants or surgery.
This study looks at how Parkinson’s disease symptoms and brain thinking (neurocognitive function) may change after low-frequency stimulation from an implanted brain device. It may help researchers understand whether this specific stimulation pattern could improve thinking or brain-related symptoms.
