Phase N/A
**O-ARM Stereotactic Imaging in Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease Study** Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a procedure for Parkinson's Disease (PD) that involves placing electrodes in the brain, particularly in the *subthalamic nucleus* (a small area involved in movement). This study aims to compare two imaging techniques used to guide this procedure. Normally, patients are moved to a different department for imaging (like MRI or CT scans) before returning to the operating room. The O-ARM technology allows this imaging to happen directly in the operating room, potentially making the process faster and more comfortable. **Key Points:** - **Duration**: The study involves a surgical procedure, with follow-up visits. - **Risks**: Standard surgical risks apply; discuss with your doctor. - **Benefits**: Faster procedure with potentially more comfort and safety. You can join if you have Parkinson's with motor fluctuations, have DBS approved for you, and agree to participate. You can't join if you have conditions like significant cognitive issues, are pregnant, or can't stop certain medications.

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.
