Deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects the body in people with Parkinson's disease. DBS uses a device to send electrical signals to a part of the brain that controls movement, which may help reduce symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease for at least 4 years.
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- Your doctor has said you are eligible for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery.
- You do not have serious memory or thinking problems.
- You do not have severe psychiatric issues like psychosis or major depression.
- You are not pregnant, and you do not have ongoing infections, autoimmune diseases, or cancer.

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 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 deep brain stimulation (a surgical treatment that uses implanted electrodes to help control movement) affects brain networks in people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to understand how the treatment works, which may help improve future care for Parkinson's patients.
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 trial compares two brain targets for deep brain stimulation (DBS), a surgery that uses implanted electrodes to help control Parkinson's symptoms. It aims to see which target works better for people whose symptoms are not well controlled by medication.
