Scientists peer into the brain to uncover secrets of movement disorders
NCT ID NCT04061135
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at brain activity in people with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor who are already scheduled for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. Researchers want to understand how the brain handles both movement problems and non-motor issues like memory loss or depression. About 90 adults will take part, and the goal is to learn more—not to test a new treatment.
