Brain stimulation study for Parkinson's or essential tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Parkinson's disease or essential tremor
- You are already scheduled to have deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery
- You are 18 years or older
- You are willing to be awake during the stimulation part of the surgery
- You are willing to be video-recorded during the surgery
- You have no history of bleeding or blood clotting problems

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.
This study tests a new way to use Deep Brain Stimulation (a device that sends tiny electrical pulses to parts of the brain controlling movement) for people with Essential Tremor. It is for those whose current stimulator is no longer working well, or who need a stimulator for the first time.
This study looks at whether deep brain stimulation surgery can help people with certain movement problems, chosen by a specialized team. You may be considered if medicines (or other treatments) aren’t controlling your symptoms well enough or if the condition causes major disability.
This trial tests a new type of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for people with severe tremor from essential tremor, multiple sclerosis, or cerebellar conditions who haven't improved with standard treatments. It targets a different brain area to see if it can reduce shaking and improve daily activities.
This trial studies outcomes after deep brain stimulation (a treatment that uses implanted electrodes) for people with Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, or dystonia. It may help doctors understand who benefits most and how outcomes change after treatment.
This Phase 1 study tests a coordinated reset deep brain stimulation program for people with essential tremor. It may help reduce tremor symptoms using a specific implanted brain-stimulation device, along with special high-strength MRI and CT imaging before and after surgery.
