SCAN Targeted Epidural Modulation for Parkinson's Disease

Exploring new treatment for Parkinson's through epidural stimulation.

Recruiting
40-75 years
All
Phase N/A

This study is testing a new treatment for Parkinson's disease, called epidural modulation. This means using a device placed near the spine to change brain signals, aiming to improve movement problems. The Somato-Cognitive Action Network (SCAN) is a brain area involved in this treatment.

Steps involved: First, you'll have a non-painful brain test (iTBS) to see if the treatment might work for you. If it does, doctors will implant a device (STEM electrodes) in your back. Then, you'll have check-ups for a year to monitor your health and see if the treatment helps.

  • Time Commitment: Participation requires 12 months of follow-up visits.
  • Procedures: Includes initial non-invasive testing and possible surgery for electrode placement.
  • Eligibility: Must be diagnosed with Parkinson's, be 40-75 years old, and meet other health criteria.

Important Notes: You should consider if you can commit to the study's duration and procedures. It's also vital to discuss potential risks and benefits with your doctor. This study aims to improve life quality for people with Parkinson's.

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.
