Brain implant could stop Parkinson's patients from freezing Mid-Step
NCT ID NCT06642519
Summary
This study is testing a brain-machine interface to help people with Parkinson's disease who experience 'freezing of gait'—sudden, temporary inability to move their feet while walking. Researchers will implant electrodes on the brain's surface to detect the abnormal brain activity that causes freezing, then use targeted electrical stimulation to try to stop these episodes. The study involves 10 participants who are already scheduled for standard deep brain stimulation surgery for Parkinson's.
