Adaptive Neurostimulation to Restore Sleep in Parkinson's Disease (Aim 2)

Exploring brain stimulation to improve sleep in Parkinson's patients.

Recruiting
18-80 years
All
Phase N/A
This study is about helping people with Parkinson's Disease (PD) improve their sleep. Parkinson's Disease is a condition that affects movement, often leading to tremors and stiffness, and many people with PD also have trouble sleeping. This includes problems like insomnia (trouble falling or staying asleep) and sleep apnea (breathing stops and starts during sleep). Sleep is crucial for feeling good and healthy. The study will test a special kind of treatment called **Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)**. This involves placing a device in the brain to help control symptoms. The researchers want to see if DBS can help people with PD sleep better. Participants will be monitored before and after surgery to check their sleep patterns using devices like watches and special sleep recordings called actigraphy and polysomnogram (PSG). **Key Points:** - The study includes 3 different 1-week treatments and will last over several months. - Participants must undergo surgery to implant the DBS device. - This study aims to help improve sleep and overall quality of life for people with PD. **Eligibility:** Participants must have Parkinson's Disease, be between 18-80 years old, and be willing to have follow-up care at the study site.

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.
