Using brain signals to improve deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 tests a new, smarter way to adjust your DBS settings using your brain's own signals (local field potentials). It may help better control persistent symptoms like speech problems, freezing, or
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.
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 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 a new way to measure brain signals during Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson's disease. It uses special leads that can sense brain activity, which may help doctors better adjust the stimulation in the future.
