Esketamine in Microelectrode Recording-guided Subthalamic Deep-Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease

Studying esketamine's effect in Parkinson's brain stimulation treatment.

Phase N/A

This study focuses on a treatment for Parkinson's disease, which affects movements. It involves a procedure called Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation (STN-DBS). During the procedure, small electrodes are placed in the brain to help control movement. Sometimes patients need to be awake for this, using a sedative called Dexmedetomidine. The study tests if adding another drug, Esketamine, can improve the process without affecting brain signals.

Participants will be split into two groups: one receives Dexmedetomidine, and the other gets Dexmedetomidine with Esketamine. The study checks how these drugs affect brain signals during surgery, sleep after surgery, and mood changes like depression and anxiety.

  • The study requires patients to be aged 50-80 and have Parkinson's.
  • Participants will not know which drug group they are in (double-blind).
  • Key risks include potential sleep apnea, serious organ issues, or severe anxiety.

Understanding these effects can help improve treatment for Parkinson's patients during this brain surgery.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
