Summary

This study looks at how changing the timing of deep brain stimulation (DBS) pulses affects movement symptoms and brain activity in people with Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, multiple sclerosis, or dystonia. Researchers will test different stimulation patterns in 180 participants who already have DBS implants. The goal is to find patterns that work better and to understand how DBS helps the brain.
