NCT ID NCT05658302

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects brain activity in 30 people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers will measure brain signals during movement and thinking tasks, with and without DBS or medication. The goal is to understand how different brain areas work together, which could help improve DBS therapy in the future.

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) and L-dopa

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to better-targeted deep brain stimulation therapies for Parkinson's disease, improving movement and thinking problems.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study focused on understanding brain signals, not testing a new treatment. Results may not directly improve patient care.
