Steering brain signals: new electrodes aim to ease Parkinson's symptoms
Disease control CompletedThis study looked at whether a newer type of deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrode, which can steer electrical signals more precisely, improves mood and movement in people with Parkinson's disease. 105 participants received the directional electrodes as part of their standard ca…

AR goggles help Parkinson's patients walk better
Symptom relief CompletedThis small study tested a digital therapy called DART that uses augmented reality to help people with Parkinson's disease and a deep brain stimulator improve their walking and balance. Seven adults participated, and researchers measured changes in motor function and walking dista…

Tiny trial aims to perfect brain stimulation timing for Parkinson's
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study tests a device that synchronizes two types of brain stimulation — deep brain stimulation (DBS) and transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) — in people with Parkinson's disease. Only 2 participants will be enrolled to see if the device can lock the timing of…

Pedaling for Parkinson's: exercise sparks brain changes in DBS patients
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study looked at how different types of exercise change brain activity in 15 people with Parkinson's disease who have a brain pacemaker (deep brain stimulation). Participants cycled while off their medication, and researchers measured brain signals and movement skills. The go…

New brain scan reveals how DBS rewires Parkinson's patients' brains
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study used a special brain imaging technique called HD-DOT to see how deep brain stimulation (DBS) changes brain network activity in 49 people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers compared scans with DBS turned on and off, while participants did motor and cognitive tests. T…

Virtual reality sheds light on why Parkinson's patients suddenly freeze
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study used virtual reality to recreate situations that cause freezing of gait in people with Parkinson's disease who have a deep brain stimulator. Fifteen participants walked through a virtual home and grocery store while their brain signals were recorded. The goal was to be…

New imaging software could sharpen brain surgery planning
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study tested a new imaging software called HoloDBS to see if it helps doctors plan deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery better than current methods. Researchers reviewed medical records from 20 adults with Parkinson's disease who were already scheduled for DBS. No extra visi…
