Summary
This early-stage trial tests whether implanting a small piece of a patient's own leg nerve into a key brain area during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery is safe and feasible. Ten people with Parkinson's disease will receive the implant and be followed for at least a year. The goal is to see if this approach can be done reliably without major complications.
