Brain pacemaker gets smarter to stop freezing in Parkinson's
NCT ID NCT06819020
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adaptive deep brain stimulation (DBS) can reduce or prevent freezing of gait in 20 people with Parkinson's disease. Participants already have DBS implants, and the device will adjust stimulation in real time based on brain signals. Freezing episodes will be tracked using wearable sensors and patient reports.
