Deep brain stimulation for tremor-dominant Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to place electrodes in the brain to reduce tremors. It may help people with Parkinson's disease whose main symptom is shaking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
- Shaking (tremor) is your main symptom when you're off medication.
- Your Parkinson's is at a moderate stage (stages 2 to 4 on a common scale).
- You've been taking Parkinson's medication regularly for at least 6 weeks.
- You are willing and able to follow the study plan and sign a consent form.

This study tests a new way to deliver brain stimulation during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. It aims to improve how the treatment works, and you will be awake during the procedure.
This trial compares PSA (a type of deep brain stimulation targeting a different brain area) versus traditional STN DBS for treating dystonic tremor. It aims to see which method provides better tremor control with fewer side effects.
This trial tests a continuous electrical brain stimulation device placed in a deep brain area to help Parkinson’s symptoms—especially tremor and trouble with movement. It may help improve daily function and reduce periods when medicine does not work well.
This study tests a new way to adjust deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease. It focuses on people who still have at least mild tremor after their DBS device has been in place for three months or more, to see if targeting specific brain connections can help improve tremor control.
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.
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.
