Pairing your ratings with DBS programming
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how your own ratings of your Parkinson's symptoms can help fine-tune your deep brain stimulation (DBS) settings. It is for people with Parkinson's who already have a DBS device that can record brain activity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 35 and 80 years old.
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
- You have had deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) area of the brain.
- Your DBS device can record brain signals (sensing-enabled).
- You do not have dementia or other serious health conditions that would make it hard to participate.

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.
This study uses brain signals (called local field potentials) from the deep brain stimulation (DBS) device to see if they can predict how well the treatment is working. It aims to help doctors adjust DBS settings more precisely for people with Parkinson's disease.
This trial compares two ways of programming deep brain stimulation (DBS) devices for Parkinson's disease. One method uses brain wave measurements to guide settings, while the other uses standard clinical testing. The goal is to see which approach works better for controlling symptoms.
This study tests a new computer-guided method for fine-tuning Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) settings in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find the best stimulation settings more efficiently and improve symptom control.
This study looks at how the brain “filters” sensory information in people with advanced Parkinson’s disease, using brain imaging and deep brain stimulation (DBS) that you may already be getting as routine care. The goal is to better understand what drives Parkinson’s symptoms and how DBS might affect the brain.
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.
