Neural Correlates of Motor and Psychiatric Fluctuations in Parkinson's Disease

Studying brain changes in Parkinson's for movement and mood issues.

18-80 years
All
Phase N/A

This study is looking at how brain activity changes in people with Parkinson's Disease (PD), particularly when they experience "fluctuations" in their symptoms. *Parkinson's Disease* is a condition that affects movement and can cause symptoms like shaking, stiffness, and slow movement. But it can also cause non-motor symptoms like mood changes or tiredness, which are less understood.

Researchers will study 30 people with PD who have a device called *Deep Brain Stimulation* (*DBS*). They will record brain activity using special equipment like EEG (Electroencephalogram) and DBS to see how it changes with medication. The study will last about three years, with participants visiting the study centers for tests.

  • The study requires multiple visits to the centers over 36 months.
  • Participants must have PD and be using or candidates for DBS.
  • There are no direct treatments involved, just observing brain activity.

This research could help doctors understand PD better and improve treatments in the future. Participants will need to be on stable medication and can't have severe symptoms that would interfere with the tests.

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.
