NCT ID NCT07567599
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial will test whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery improves movement, balance, and daily function in 40 people with Parkinson's disease. Participants will have their walking speed, balance, muscle strength, and activity levels measured before and after surgery. The goal is to see if DBS can help when medication is no longer enough.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery
What this could lead to
If successful, this could confirm that DBS improves walking, balance, and daily function in people with Parkinson's whose symptoms are not controlled by medication.
What could go wrong
This is a small, uncontrolled trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Surgery carries risks like infection or brain bleeding, and benefits may vary.
