Brain zap breakthrough aims to stop Parkinson's falls
NCT ID NCT05022147
Summary
This study is testing whether switching between two different frequencies of deep brain stimulation (DBS) can help improve walking, balance, and reduce falls in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers are working with 12 participants who already have a specific type of DBS implant to measure how their walking changes with this new stimulation pattern. The goal is to gather information that could lead to better treatments for mobility problems that current Parkinson's medications and standard DBS often can't fix.
