Mediterranean diet for Parkinson's with deep brain stimulation
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a Mediterranean diet can improve nutrition in people with Parkinson's disease who have had deep brain stimulation surgery. It may help you maintain better nutrition and overall health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 64 years old.
- You have had deep brain stimulation surgery for Parkinson's disease.
- You are still taking your Parkinson's medications.
- You score at least 24 on a mental health test (indicating normal thinking ability).
- You do not have any other psychiatric illness or a disease that requires a special diet.

This trial tests whether a Mediterranean diet can help people with Parkinson's disease. You would either follow your usual diet or switch to a Mediterranean diet for six months and provide blood and stool samples.
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.
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.
This study tests a new way to adjust deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease. It focuses on people who still have at least mild tremor after their DBS device has been in place for three months or more, to see if targeting specific brain connections can help improve tremor control.
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).
