Smart brain implant aims to unfreeze Parkinson's patients
NCT ID NCT06819020
Summary
This study is testing whether a 'smart' deep brain stimulation system can reduce or prevent freezing of gait—a sudden, temporary inability to walk—in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers will compare a new, personalized stimulation setting that adjusts in real-time to the standard continuous setting in 20 participants. The goal is to see if this adaptive approach improves walking, balance, and overall movement more effectively.
