What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only This study
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This trial will test whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery improves movement, balance, and daily function in 40 people with Parkinson's disease. Participants will have their walking speed, balance, muscle strength, and activity levels measured before and after surgery. The goal is to see if DBS can help when medication is no longer enough.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery
What this could lead to
If successful, this could confirm that DBS improves walking, balance, and daily function in people with Parkinson's whose symptoms are not controlled by medication.
What could go wrong
This is a small, uncontrolled trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Surgery carries risks like infection or brain bleeding, and benefits may vary.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 40 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Expected to finish

Feb 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

Children (under 18), adults (18 to 64) and older adults (65 and over)

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Individuals with PD who have been evaluated by a clinical neurologist specializing in movement disorders and have a medical indication for DBS surgical treatment. These individuals will undergo surgical screening, which includes prior neurological, speech-language pathology, neuropsychological, and physical therapy assessments. Exclusion Criteria: * Individuals who do not wish to undergo surgery; those with severe cardiovascular or orthopedic comorbidities that pose a risk during the surgical procedure; and those presenting with dementia or severe psychiatric disorders that could be exacerbated by the surgery.
