Image-guided deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease

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 compares two ways of adjusting the settings for deep brain stimulation (a treatment for Parkinson's disease). One way uses standard clinical methods; the other uses special biological markers to guide the settings. The goal is to find which method works better for controlling symptoms.

This trial compares two ways to place electrodes in the brain to reduce tremors. It may help people with Parkinson's disease whose main symptom is shaking.

This study is for people with Parkinson's disease who already have a deep brain stimulator (a device that sends electrical pulses to the brain) and still have motor fluctuations (times when symptoms come and go). The researchers want to see if adapting the device's settings can better control symptoms than the current standard settings.

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.

This study tests a new type of deep brain stimulation (DBS)—a surgical treatment that uses electrical pulses to help control Parkinson's symptoms. Unlike standard DBS, this system adapts automatically to your body's needs. You may qualify if you've never had DBS surgery or if you've had it before and are willing to switch to the new device.
