NCT ID NCT07455760
First seen Mar 11, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study looks at how two brain circuits involved in movement and speech work when people learn new sound sequences. Researchers will temporarily turn deep brain stimulation (DBS) on or off in 80 adults with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor while they perform speech tasks. The goal is to understand how different brain areas help us learn and produce speech, which may guide better DBS settings in the future. No treatment is being tested; this is purely for knowledge.
