NCT ID NCT07250685
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two brain areas for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in 86 people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to see which target—the subthalamic nucleus (STN) or the globus pallidus internus (GPi)—better improves movement symptoms 90 days after surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to one target and then switch to the other, with doctors and patients unaware of which is active.
