Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery for Parkinson's Disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study follows people with Parkinson's disease who are having a surgical procedure called deep brain stimulation (DBS), where thin electrodes are placed in the brain to help control movement symptoms. Researchers will track how well the surgery works and how it affects daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease
- A movement disorder specialist has evaluated you and believes DBS surgery could help you
- You are willing and able to have DBS surgery
- You do not have severe heart or bone/joint problems that would make surgery too risky
- You do not have dementia or severe mental health conditions that surgery could worsen
