Sleep monitoring with Parkinson's deep brain stimulation device
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a special sensing device in your existing Parkinson's deep brain stimulation implant to monitor your sleep patterns. Researchers want to understand how sleep and the stimulation device interact, which could help improve treatment for Parkinson's patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Parkinson's disease and already have a deep brain stimulation device (Percept RC) implanted in your brain
- You are between 40 and 80 years old
- You score 23 or higher on a brief memory and thinking test (Montreal Cognitive Assessment)
- You are willing to spend one night in a sleep lab with your device turned off and wear monitoring equipment
- You can stop taking sleep medications (like benzodiazepines or Ambien) for 3 days before the study
- You have not changed your Parkinson's medications in the past month

This study looks at brain activity during sleep in people with Parkinson's who have a deep brain stimulation (DBS) device. It aims to understand how different DBS settings affect sleep, which may help improve treatment.
This study tests an adaptive brain stimulation device to help restore better sleep in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may be eligible if your Parkinson’s motor symptoms are severe despite best medical treatment and you are already being considered for a specific deep brain stimulation surgery.
This study examines how deep brain stimulation—a surgical treatment where electrodes are placed in a specific part of the brain—affects Parkinson's symptoms during wakefulness and sleep. Researchers will monitor your brain activity to better understand how the treatment works and potentially improve outcomes.
