Brain Stimulation Study for Parkinson's Disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and are being treated at Grenoble University Hospital
- Your doctor has recommended surgery to implant deep brain stimulation electrodes as part of your routine care
- You will receive a Medtronic PERCEPT stimulator (the standard device used in this hospital)
- You speak and understand French well enough to complete questionnaires and interviews
- You are able to consent to the study and are covered by French social security or equivalent health insurance
- You do not have severe cognitive problems (like advanced dementia) or severe depression that would make participation unsafe

This study uses special recordings during deep brain stimulation surgery to better understand how movement gets easier in Parkinson’s disease. It may help researchers improve how this therapy is used for advanced symptoms.
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.
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 looks at whether deep brain stimulation (a surgical treatment for Parkinson’s disease) affects thinking and memory over time. It compares Parkinson’s participants to people without Parkinson’s to better understand what changes happen with treatment.
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 trial studies how brain cells in a specific area (the prefrontal cortex) affect thinking and planning in people with Parkinson's disease who are getting deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. The goal is to learn more about brain function to improve future treatments.
