Scientists scan brains to see how Parkinson's treatment works

NCT ID NCT02795663

Summary

This study aimed to understand how deep brain stimulation (DBS) helps people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers measured blood flow in the brains of 15 patients with DBS implants while they performed simple hand movements and decision-making tasks. The goal was to see how turning the stimulator on or off changed brain activity during these actions.
