Continuous Electrical Neuromodulation of the Globus Pallidus Intern in Parkinson's Disease by the Directional Electrode CARTESIA™

Study of electrical brain stimulation for Parkinson's using CARTESIA™ device.

All
Phase N/A
This study is about using special electrodes called CARTESIA™ to help people with Parkinson's disease, a brain disorder that affects movement. These electrodes are used in a treatment called Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), which helps control symptoms like shaking and stiffness. DBS works by sending small electrical signals to the brain. The study tests if using directional electrodes (which can focus the electrical signals more precisely) is better than the regular method. **Key Points:** - The study lasts for at least 30 months, which is a bit more than 2 years, so participants need to be willing to commit for the long term. - Participants should have been diagnosed with Parkinson's for more than 4 years and must be able to handle surgery and anesthesia safely. - It's important that participants continue with their regular Parkinson's medicine during the study and are able to follow up regularly. This therapy doesn't stop Parkinson's from getting worse, but it aims to make movement easier and reduce medicine side effects. Participants who join should not have serious health issues that could interfere with the treatment or its follow-up.

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.
