Brain waves and thinking in Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how brain activity relates to thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease, including those with and without cognitive issues, and those with deep brain stimulation. It uses EEG (a non-invasive brain wave recording) and sometimes mild brain stimulation (TMS or tACS) to understand these connections better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 89 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease by a neurologist.
- Your Parkinson's medications have been stable for a while.
- You can walk on your own and make your own decisions.
- You do not have certain other conditions like Alzheimer's, Lewy body dementia, or a history of seizures (for parts of the study).
- You do not have serious hearing loss or color blindness.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a safe, noninvasive brain stimulation method (transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS) to look at brain signals related to thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find a better way to measure cognitive changes over time.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation approach (tDCS) can improve thinking and memory in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may be invited because your Parkinson’s is typical and your memory testing shows you do not have dementia.
This trial tests a brain stimulation technique (deep brain stimulation) to see if it can help people with Parkinson's disease who also have mild cognitive problems. The goal is to understand how stimulation affects both movement and thinking.
This trial tests if non-invasive brain stimulation can help with memory and thinking problems (mild cognitive impairment) in people with Parkinson's disease. It uses magnetic pulses and mild electrical current to stimulate the brain over a few weeks.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can improve thinking, language, and movement problems in people with Parkinson's disease. You will receive either real or pretend stimulation to see if it helps.
This trial tests whether a type of noninvasive brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve thinking and memory in people with mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s disease. You may be eligible if you have these diagnoses, are on stable medications, and can safely complete brain scan/testing.
