Adaptive DBS for personalized Parkinson's therapy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new feature in your Medtronic DBS device that automatically adjusts stimulation based on brain signals. It aims to improve symptom control for people with Parkinson's disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have idiopathic Parkinson's disease.
- You have a Medtronic Percept PC or RC DBS device, with leads in either the STN or GPi area of the brain, implanted for at least 3 months.
- Your current DBS settings and Parkinson's medications have been stable for the past 4 weeks.
- You are willing to attend all study visits and complete questionnaires and exams, including one where you temporarily stop stimulation and medication.
- You have a measurable brain signal (alpha-beta waves) of 1.2 microvolts or higher on at least one side of your DBS leads during screening.

This study tests whether different deep brain stimulation settings can improve symptoms in people with Parkinson’s who already have an implanted DBS system in the subthalamic nucleus (STN). To join, you must already have the specific Medtronic device and show good brain signal and symptom response after surgery.
This study tests a new way to adjust deep brain stimulation (DBS) automatically during the day to better control Parkinson's symptoms. It is for people who already have a Percept DBS device but still have motor fluctuations.
This study tests a new, smarter way to adjust your DBS settings using your brain's own signals (local field potentials). It may help better control persistent symptoms like speech problems, freezing, or
This trial tests a new deep brain stimulation system that adapts in real time to improve symptom control over 24 hours, especially for people with daytime fluctuations or sleep problems despite standard DBS.
This trial looks at a new type of Parkinson’s brain stimulation (adaptive DBS) to help with disabling walking, balance, and/or speech problems. It also requires replacing your DBS battery because the researchers need to test the new system’s signals.
This study tests a new way to program deep brain stimulation (DBS) using brain signals, which may improve symptom control. It is for people with Parkinson's who have a Medtronic Percept DBS device and are ready for their first programming session.
