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 examines how electrical signals in the brain relate to psychiatric symptoms (like hallucinations, compulsive behaviors, or anxiety) in people with Parkinson's disease who have already had deep brain stimulation surgery. Understanding these connections may help doctors better treat these challenging symptoms.
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 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.
This study looks at brain signals in people with Parkinson's who are already scheduled for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery. The goal is to better understand how certain brain pathways work, which could lead to improved treatments.
