NCT ID NCT06857851
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) can be adjusted to help people with Parkinson's disease who have trouble with eye alignment and focusing. Researchers will use eye-tracking and brain models to find the best stimulation settings. The goal is to improve vision without harming the treatment of other Parkinson's symptoms. Eighty participants with DBS implants will take part.
