Expert Consensus on Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial is not for patients. It is a consensus study where doctors and other healthcare professionals in Italy will be asked to agree on best practices for deep brain stimulation in Parkinson's disease. It aims to create clear, expert-backed guidelines for treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a healthcare professional (like a doctor or nurse) who has worked with Parkinson's patients for at least 5 years, including helping with deep brain stimulation surgery.
- You should have taken part in writing treatment guidelines or published at least one article about brain stimulation for Parkinson's.
- You need to be based in Italy, and will be chosen from recent publications on this topic.
- The study aims to have a mix of men and women, and doctors from different parts of Italy.

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 may work in people with Parkinson’s disease, especially those who have had the illness for more than 5 years and are likely to benefit from stimulation. You may be able to join if your symptoms match Parkinson’s disease criteria and you respond well to levodopa (a common Parkinson’s medication).
This study tests a personalized way to adjust deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy in real time for people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to improve how DBS works by tailoring it to each person's needs.
This study examines how deep brain stimulation—a surgical treatment where electrodes are placed in a specific part of the brain—affects Parkinson's symptoms during wakefulness and sleep. Researchers will monitor your brain activity to better understand how the treatment works and potentially improve outcomes.
This trial compares two ways of programming deep brain stimulation (DBS) devices for Parkinson's disease. One method uses brain wave measurements to guide settings, while the other uses standard clinical testing. The goal is to see which approach works better for controlling symptoms.
This study follows people with Parkinson's disease who are having a surgical procedure called deep brain stimulation (DBS), where thin electrodes are placed in the brain to help control movement symptoms. Researchers will track how well the surgery works and how it affects daily activities.
