NCT ID NCT03582891
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new type of brain implant that can both sense brain activity and deliver stimulation in real time. It involves 25 people with Parkinson's disease or dystonia who already need deep brain stimulation. The goal is to see if closed-loop stimulation (which adjusts automatically) works better than standard stimulation at controlling symptoms.
