Brain chip detects and stops Parkinson's freezing in its tracks
NCT ID NCT06642519
Summary
This study is testing a new brain implant designed to treat 'freezing of gait,' a debilitating symptom where Parkinson's patients suddenly feel stuck and cannot walk. The implant listens for the brain signals that cause a freezing episode and then delivers a small electrical pulse to try to stop it. Researchers are enrolling 10 Parkinson's patients who are already scheduled for a standard deep brain stimulation surgery to see if this new approach can help.
