Brain mapping study could make Parkinson's treatment smarter
NCT ID NCT05568199
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to understand how different brain circuits affect movement and thinking in people with Parkinson's disease who already have a deep brain stimulation (DBS) device. Researchers will measure brain activity patterns during rest and movement, and link them to motor and cognitive test results. The goal is to gather knowledge that could one day help doctors fine-tune DBS settings for each patient. About 100 adults with Parkinson's and a DBS implant will take part.
