Adaptive brain stimulation for Parkinson's movement symptoms
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of deep brain stimulation that adapts to your movements to improve walking, balance, and tremors. It is for people with Parkinson's disease who have had symptoms for at least 3 years, are 21 to 75 years old, and already have a special study brain-stimulation device implanted.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 21 and 75 years old.
- You have had Parkinson's disease symptoms for 3 years or more.
- You already have a Summit RC+S investigational brain-stimulation device implanted.
- You have walking problems like slow steps, shuffling, unsteadiness, or freezing when off medication.

This trial tests an adaptive deep brain stimulation (DBS) system designed to improve freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease. It is for people who still have trouble walking despite medications and are already planning to have DBS surgery.
This study looks at whether changing how deep brain stimulation (DBS) pulses are delivered can improve symptoms in people with advanced Parkinson’s disease. You may be eligible if you already have a specific Boston Scientific DBS device and have had it implanted for at least 3 months.
This study tests an approach to improving Parkinson’s symptoms in people who already have deep brain stimulation (DBS) devices. It focuses on patients who are able to do walking tests safely and confirm they can understand and consent.
This study tests a new type of deep brain stimulation (DBS) that adapts to your brain activity in real time. It is for people with Parkinson's disease whose symptoms are not well managed by medication and who are already candidates for DBS surgery.
This study tests a new type of deep brain stimulation (DBS) that automatically adjusts to your walking or balance issues. It uses your brain's own signals to improve movement.
This study tests a new type of deep brain stimulation (DBS)—a surgical treatment that uses electrical pulses to help control Parkinson's symptoms. Unlike standard DBS, this system adapts automatically to your body's needs. You may qualify if you've never had DBS surgery or if you've had it before and are willing to switch to the new device.
