Brain stimulation to improve movement in Parkinson's or tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests brain stimulation in a region called VOP/VIM to see if it can improve motor function. It is for people with movement disorders who are already getting deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You must have a movement disorder (like Parkinson's disease or essential tremor) and are scheduled for DBS surgery.
- You must not have epilepsy, a history of fainting, or severe behavioral/cognitive problems.
- You must not have other serious medical conditions (like cancer or heart disease) that could interfere with the study.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study tests whether stimulating specific brain areas (VOP/VIM) during deep brain stimulation surgery can improve movement and muscle control. It includes people with essential tremor or Parkinson's disease who are already scheduled for this surgery.
This study tests if deep brain stimulation (a small device implanted in the brain) can improve speech and arm movement after a stroke that affected the deeper parts of the brain. It is designed for people who have trouble speaking clearly (dysarthria) from their stroke.
This study looks at whether adjusting deep brain stimulation (DBS) can improve how you see and move. DBS uses a device implanted in your brain to help control Parkinson's symptoms. This research aims to find better settings for that device to improve your coordination and daily function.
This trial tests a new type of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for people with severe tremor from essential tremor, multiple sclerosis, or cerebellar conditions who haven't improved with standard treatments. It targets a different brain area to see if it can reduce shaking and improve daily activities.
This study looks at whether deep brain stimulation surgery can help people with certain movement problems, chosen by a specialized team. You may be considered if medicines (or other treatments) aren’t controlling your symptoms well enough or if the condition causes major disability.
This study looks at brain signals, thinking, and movement behaviors in people who have Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor and are being considered for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. It may help researchers better understand how DBS affects the brain and day-to-day function.
