NCT ID NCT03021031
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 60 adults with Parkinson's disease who are scheduled for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. Researchers will track their brain activity, movement, and thinking skills over time to learn how DBS affects the brain. The goal is to gather information, not to test a new treatment.
