Smart DBS adjustment using brain signals for Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new, smarter way to adjust your DBS settings using your brain's own signals (local field potentials). It may help better control persistent symptoms like speech problems, freezing, or
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Parkinson's disease and have a deep brain stimulation (DBS) device in an area called the subthalamic nucleus (STN).
- Your DBS device must be the Medtronic Percept™ PC or RC system, and it must have been put in at least 6 months ago.
- You still have bothersome symptoms like slurred speech, freezing of movement, or sudden changes between
- Your device needs to have a usable brain signal (called local field potential) on at least one side.

This study uses brain signals (called local field potentials) from the deep brain stimulation (DBS) device to see if they can predict how well the treatment is working. It aims to help doctors adjust DBS settings more precisely for people with Parkinson's disease.
This study compares two ways of using deep brain stimulation (DBS) — an adjustable ‘adaptive’ version that changes with your brain signals, versus the standard continuous setting. It aims to see which works better for people with Parkinson's disease who already have a specific type of DBS device.
This study tests a new computer-guided method for fine-tuning Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) settings in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find the best stimulation settings more efficiently and improve symptom control.
This study tests a new way to adjust deep brain stimulation (DBS) automatically during the day to better control Parkinson's symptoms. It is for people who already have a Percept DBS device but still have motor fluctuations.
This study tests a new way to measure brain signals during Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson's disease. It uses special leads that can sense brain activity, which may help doctors better adjust the stimulation in the future.
This study tests whether different deep brain stimulation settings can improve symptoms in people with Parkinson’s who already have an implanted DBS system in the subthalamic nucleus (STN). To join, you must already have the specific Medtronic device and show good brain signal and symptom response after surgery.
