Thinking and mood after brain stimulation for Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (a treatment that uses mild electrical pulses to help control movement) affects thinking and mood in people with Parkinson's disease. It is a joint study by a Swiss university hospital that uses records from usual care and tests over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
- You have had or will have deep brain stimulation to the subthalamic nucleus (an area deep in the brain using small electrodes to treat movement symptoms).
- Your thinking score is at least 20 on a common memory and thinking test.
- You speak German or French well and are able to give informed consent.
- You allow researchers to use your routine medical data from the hospital.
- You must not have another major brain condition like Alzheimer's, stroke or a brain tumour.

This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease over time. It compares results from people who have DBS and those who receive only medication.
This study looks at how brain signals change during deep brain stimulation (DBS) when you are thinking or moving. It aims to find better ways to see if DBS is working by recording your brain's electrical activity.
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.
This study looks at brain signals related to motor and psychiatric changes in people with Parkinson's who are scheduled for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. The goal is to better understand why symptoms fluctuate and how DBS may help.
This trial tests a brain stimulation technique (deep brain stimulation) to see if it can help people with Parkinson's disease who also have mild cognitive problems. The goal is to understand how stimulation affects both movement and thinking.
This study uses MRI scans to see how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help researchers understand why some people experience cognitive changes after DBS surgery.
