Deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's: comparing two brain targets
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial is looking back at patients who had deep brain stimulation (a device that sends electrical signals to the brain to help with movement) for Parkinson's disease. It compares two target spots in the brain to see which one leads to better control of symptoms over a year.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
- You've had deep brain stimulation surgery — a procedure where a device is placed in the brain to help improve movement.
- Your surgery targeted either the subthalamic nucleus (STN) or the ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) — two specific areas of the brain.
- Your surgery was performed at the CHRU of Nancy, France.
- Your surgery took place sometime between 2014 and 2024.
- You must have survived at least one year after the surgery.

This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects the body in people with Parkinson's disease. DBS uses a device to send electrical signals to a part of the brain that controls movement, which may help reduce symptoms.
This study compares two ways of adjusting the settings for deep brain stimulation (a treatment for Parkinson's disease). One way uses standard clinical methods; the other uses special biological markers to guide the settings. The goal is to find which method works better for controlling symptoms.
This study looks at factors that predict how well deep brain stimulation (DBS) works for people with Parkinson's disease. If you are considering DBS, joining this research could help doctors better understand who benefits most from the procedure.
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (a surgical treatment that uses implanted electrodes to help control movement) affects brain networks in people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to understand how the treatment works, which may help improve future care for Parkinson's patients.
This study looks at how the placement of electrodes during deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease affects recovery and motor symptoms right after surgery. It could help doctors improve DBS outcomes for people with Parkinson's.
This trial compares two brain targets for deep brain stimulation (DBS), a surgery that uses implanted electrodes to help control Parkinson's symptoms. It aims to see which target works better for people whose symptoms are not well controlled by medication.
