Scientists map the Brain's wiring to Fine-Tune Parkinson's treatment

NCT ID NCT04922411

Summary

This study aimed to understand how a common Parkinson's treatment called deep brain stimulation (DBS) changes how different parts of the brain communicate. Researchers used a new, cap-based brain scanner on 49 people with Parkinson's to see these brain network changes while the DBS was turned on and off. The goal was to gather knowledge that could one day help doctors program DBS devices more effectively and find less invasive treatment targets.
