NCT ID NCT06791902
First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study tests a new way to use deep brain stimulation (DBS) — like a pacemaker for the brain — that automatically adjusts stimulation based on what the person is doing, like sitting, standing, or walking. The goal is to see if this "adaptive" DBS is safe and can improve walking and balance problems in 10 people with Parkinson's disease who already have a DBS device. Current treatments often don't help with these specific movement issues.
