Revision of Deep Brain Stimulator in Parkinson's Disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study is for people with Parkinson's disease who need to have their deep brain stimulator (a device that sends electrical pulses to control movement) replaced or adjusted. The researchers want to learn the best way to do this procedure safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 85 years old.
- Your overall health is good enough for surgery (anesthesiologist class I, II, or III).
- Your BMI is between 18 and 30.
- You have Parkinson's disease and need a revision of your deep brain stimulator.

This study compares different anesthesia choices during deep brain stimulation surgery for Parkinson’s disease, using a technique that guides electrode placement. It may help your care team choose the safest and most comfortable anesthesia approach for surgery.
This study looks at how the location of a deep brain stimulator in Parkinson’s disease affects movement problems. It mainly uses advanced 7T brain imaging to compare brain activity and motor symptoms.
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (an implanted brain device) affects Parkinson’s symptoms, especially movement problems like freezing, slowness, or involuntary movements. It may help people whose symptoms are not fully controlled by standard Parkinson medicines.
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 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 uses special recordings during deep brain stimulation surgery to better understand how movement gets easier in Parkinson’s disease. It may help researchers improve how this therapy is used for advanced symptoms.
