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 tests a new way of using deep brain stimulation (like a pacemaker for the brain) to help control Parkinson's symptoms. It may help improve movement and quality of life for people living with Parkinson's disease.
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 trial is looking back at patients who had deep brain stimulation (a device that sends electrical signals to the brain to help with movement) for Parkinson's disease. It compares two target spots in the brain to see which one leads to better control of symptoms over a year.
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects the body in people with Parkinson's disease. DBS uses a device to send electrical signals to a part of the brain that controls movement, which may help reduce symptoms.
