Testing a new DBS programming method for Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's disease using standard criteria
- Already have a Medtronic Percept DBS device implanted
- Able to understand and sign the consent form
- Willing to take part during your first DBS programming session
- Between the ages of 21 and 89
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

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 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.
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 study is testing a new image-guided way to set up deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease. It may help people with DBS get better symptom control with less trial and error.
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 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.
