Aim 3 Particle Swarm Optimization PIGD

Testing a new method to help manage Parkinson's symptoms.

Recruiting
18-85 years
All
Phase N/A

This study is for people with Parkinson's disease (PD) who are using a treatment called Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). DBS involves a device placed in the brain to help control symptoms. Researchers want to test two different ways of using this device to see which works better for PD symptoms. The focus is on two brain pathways that affect movement and balance.

  • The study lasts several weeks and involves observing participants over time to see how well the device settings work.
  • Participants should be between 18-85 years old, have had DBS for at least 3 months, and be able to walk with assistance if needed.
  • Participants cannot join if they have other significant movement issues, device problems, or if they are pregnant or nursing.

Participants will need to visit the lab and be monitored both at the lab and at home. This study could help improve treatments for PD in the future.

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.
