Brain network analysis using 7-Tesla MRI in DBS patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses advanced brain imaging (7-Tesla MRI and MEG) to understand how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects brain networks in people with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor. It helps doctors learn how DBS works so they can improve treatment in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have Parkinson's disease or essential tremor with a deep brain stimulator for at least 6 months
- You had a 7-Tesla MRI before your DBS surgery
- Your DBS system is safe for a 7-Tesla MRI (check with your doctor)
- You do not have implants that interfere with the MEG machine (like a pacemaker or certain dental work)

This study uses a very strong MRI (7-tesla) to analyze how parts of the brain connect in people with Parkinson’s who already have deep brain stimulation (DBS). It may help researchers better understand DBS and how it works in the brain.
This study looks at detailed brain imaging using a very strong MRI (7-Tesla) to understand brain network changes after deep brain stimulation for essential tremor. It may help improve how DBS works and how tremor can be better treated in the future.
This trial is for adults with Parkinson’s who already have a deep brain stimulation (DBS) device and who can have 7‑Tesla (7T) brain imaging. The study uses the MRI pictures to help researchers learn more about Parkinson’s and how the brain changes with treatment.
This study uses a brain scan called MEG to look at how Parkinson's disease and impulse control disorders affect brain networks in people who have already had deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. You will be asked to delay your morning medication so the researchers can study your brain without the effects of the drugs.
This study uses MRI scans to look at brain activity in people with Parkinson's disease who have a Medtronic Percept DBS device. The goal is to better understand how deep brain stimulation works.
This study uses MRI scans to see how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help researchers understand why some people experience cognitive changes after DBS surgery.
