Brain implant study aims to unlock secrets of Parkinson's gait problems
NCT ID NCT05656586
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects walking and other movements that don't improve with standard Parkinson's medication. About 36 adults with Parkinson's who already have a Medtronic Percept DBS implant will wear sensors and use a smartphone app to track their walking at home and in the lab. The goal is to understand brain signals linked to movement problems, which could lead to better DBS treatments in the future.
