Summary
This study looks at how different patterns of deep brain stimulation (DBS) affect movement and brain activity in people with Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, multiple sclerosis, or dystonia. Researchers will test various stimulation patterns to find which ones work best for controlling symptoms like tremor and slowness. The goal is to design more effective DBS treatments in the future. About 180 participants who are already scheduled for DBS surgery will take part.
