Deep Brain Stimulation-Induced Mania in Parkinson's Disease

Study on deep brain stimulation effects in Parkinson's patients.

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase N/A

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a condition that affects the brain and causes problems with movement and other symptoms. Some people with PD don't get better with medicine alone, so doctors use something called Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). DBS is a treatment where electrodes are placed in certain areas of the brain to help with symptoms. However, DBS can sometimes cause mood changes, like mania, which is a state of very high energy and excitement. In this study, researchers are looking at why DBS might cause mania and if certain settings or locations in the brain are linked to this. They will use special brain images from people who have had DBS to study this further.

  • The study uses past data and images from patients who had DBS.
  • Participants must be 18 or older and have had DBS.
  • People with mood issues before DBS cannot join the study.

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.
