Frontosubthalamic Networks in Parkinson's Disease.

Study on brain networks in Parkinson’s disease.

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase N/A

This study is for people with Parkinson's Disease who have a special treatment called **Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)**. DBS involves using small electric signals to areas in the brain to help with movement problems. We want to see how DBS affects decision-making and if it increases impulsivity (acting without thinking). We'll also explore if changing the settings of DBS can reduce impulsivity. During the study, participants will do tasks while their DBS device is turned on and off. We will use a brain scan called **Magnetoencephalography (MEG)**, which is safe and measures brain activity.

  • **Commitment**: The study requires delaying morning medication for up to 4 hours.
  • **Participation**: You'll need to sit in a MEG scanner and follow instructions.
  • **Ineligibility**: You cannot join if you have other medical devices or are in other related trials.

This study seeks individuals aged 18 or older who can provide consent. Make sure you can delay your medication and sit still in a scanner before deciding to participate.

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.
