Parkinson's patients test new brain stimulation in their own homes
NCT ID NCT07410598
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a new type of deep brain stimulation (called patterned DBS) is safe and tolerable for people with Parkinson's disease to use at home. About 60 adults who already have a DBS device will try the new stimulation pattern for two weeks. The goal is to see if they can stick with it and if it improves movement and quality of life.
