Short- and Long-term Behavioral, Cognitive and Motor Outcomes of Frameless Deep Brain Stimulation in Patients With Parkinson's Disease: a Prospective Observational Study

Studying effects of frameless deep brain stimulation in Parkinson's patients.

Phase N/A

This study looks at how Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) affects people with Parkinson's Disease. Parkinson's Disease is a condition that affects movement, making it hard to control your body. DBS is a surgery where doctors use tiny wires to send signals to the brain, which helps with movement problems. This study uses a frameless technique, meaning the surgery is done without a big frame around the head. Researchers will check how much patients' lives improve by using a special test called the PDQ-39 scale, which measures how Parkinson's affects daily life. They'll compare scores before surgery and one year later.

  • The study is interested in both short-term and long-term effects.
  • Participants need a confirmed diagnosis of Parkinson's and must be eligible for DBS.
  • Patients who cannot give consent are not allowed to join.

The goal is to see if this type of surgery makes life better for patients with Parkinson's Disease.

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.
