Brain activity linked to movement and mood swings in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at brain signals related to motor and psychiatric changes in people with Parkinson's who are scheduled for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. The goal is to better understand why symptoms fluctuate and how DBS may help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease using standard criteria.
- You are being considered for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery because your symptoms fluctuate.
- You have taken medication for Parkinson's (dopaminergic therapy).
- You had DBS surgery 4 to 8 weeks before the study tests.
- You are not over 80 years old.
- You do not have dementia, active psychosis, depression with suicidal thoughts, or other unstable medical conditions.

This study looks at brain signals recorded by a Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) device in people with Parkinson's disease who also experience hallucinations, impulse control disorder, or panic disorder (episodic anxiety). The goal is to better understand these symptoms and potentially improve future treatments.
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 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 (a treatment that uses mild electrical pulses to help control movement) affects thinking and mood in people with Parkinson's disease. It is a joint study by a Swiss university hospital that uses records from usual care and tests over time.
This study records brain activity during movement in people with Parkinson's who have a special deep brain stimulation (DBS) device. It aims to understand how brain rhythms relate to movement, which could improve future treatments.
This study looks at how the brain controls movement in people with Parkinson's disease, including those who have had deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. It involves recording brain activity and may help doctors understand how to improve treatment.
