Walking to the beat: new study tests rhythmic sounds for Parkinson's patients with brain implants

NCT ID NCT05763732

First seen May 14, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether listening to a steady beat (like a metronome) can improve walking in people with Parkinson's disease who have a deep brain stimulator (DBS). Ten participants will walk while the beat plays, and researchers will measure their step speed, stride length, and brain activity. The goal is to understand how sound and brain stimulation together affect movement.
