Comparing brain signal recordings during deep brain stimulation surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares a new device for recording brain signals during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery with the standard equipment. DBS is a treatment for movement disorders like Parkinson's disease that uses a device to send electrical signals to specific parts of the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are already scheduled for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery with Dr. Kendall Lee at Mayo Clinic.
- Your DBS surgery is for a movement disorder such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, or dystonia.
- The multidisciplinary DBS committee has approved you for DBS surgery.

This study uses advanced brain imaging (7-Tesla MRI and MEG) to understand how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects brain networks in people with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor. It helps doctors learn how DBS works so they can improve treatment in the future.
This study looks at how brain and speech networks work while people with Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, or dystonia are getting deep brain stimulation (DBS). It may help doctors better understand and possibly improve speech outcomes for people receiving DBS.
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 compares two ways of adjusting the settings for deep brain stimulation (a treatment for Parkinson's disease). One way uses standard clinical methods; the other uses special biological markers to guide the settings. The goal is to find which method works better for controlling symptoms.
This study looks at brain activity patterns in people with dystonia who already have a deep brain stimulation (DBS) device. By recording brain signals during MRI and other tests, researchers hope to learn how DBS helps control movement.
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.
