How deep brain stimulation affects Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) in a part of the brain called the subthalamic nucleus affects Parkinson's disease. It aims to understand the biological changes that happen with this treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
- You've had Parkinson's for at least 4 years.
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- Doctors have said you might be eligible for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery.

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.
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 trial studies how deep brain stimulation (DBS) works and can help control Parkinson's symptoms. It uses a special DBS device that is safe for MRI scans.
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 trial tests whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) can help people with early-stage Parkinson's disease. If you have Parkinson's for less than 4 years and your medications work well, this study may help slow the need for higher medication doses.
This study records brain activity during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson's disease to better understand how the brain controls actions. It might help improve future treatments.
