Brain implant study aims to unlock secrets of Parkinson's sleep problems
NCT ID NCT07637955
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how a brain region called the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is involved in sleep and wakefulness in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers will record brain activity during sleep using special electrodes already implanted for deep brain stimulation. The goal is to better understand sleep disturbances in Parkinson's and find ways to improve them. Fifteen adults scheduled for STN deep brain stimulation surgery at Grenoble University Hospital will participate.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients with Parkinson's disease, followed at Grenoble University Hospital, for whom surgery to implant deep brain stimulation electrodes in the subthalamic nucleus is indicated * Patients agreeing to be implanted with a Medtronic PERCEPT stimulator (routine care) * Patients who have given and signed informed consent * Patients covered by social security or a similar scheme Exclusion Criteria: * Individuals who do not understand/speak French (prevents completion of questionnaires) * Any condition that, in the investigator's opinion, will prevent the participant from successfully or safely completing the study procedures (i.e., dementia, severe depression, etc.) * Subjects on exclusion from another study * Protected persons (Articles L1121-5 to L1121-8 of the French Public Health Code)
