Scientists map Parkinson's brain signals in quest for better treatments

NCT ID NCT06489483

Summary

This study aims to understand how Parkinson's disease disrupts the brain's ability to control actions like stopping or switching movements. Researchers will compare 50 Parkinson's patients taking their regular dopamine medication to healthy volunteers using simple joystick computer games. The goal is to gather knowledge about these brain mechanisms to potentially inform future treatments, but this study itself does not test a new therapy.
