Investigating Inhibitory Control Networks in Parkinson's Disease

Studying brain activity in Parkinson's patients.

Phase N/A
  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

This study focuses on understanding brain activity related to non-motor symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET). These symptoms can include depression, trouble thinking, and slower actions. During deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery, doctors will record brain activity to learn more about these issues. DBS is a surgery where electrodes are placed in the brain to help with movement problems. However, it doesn't always help with thinking problems.

**Key Points to Consider:**

  • This study involves surgery, which includes brain recordings.
  • You must have Parkinson's disease or essential tremor and be eligible for surgery.
  • You cannot join if under 18 or have certain medical histories.

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.
