  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

This study is for people with Parkinson's disease (PD), a brain disorder that affects movement. It checks two ways of using a device called Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS): current mode and voltage mode. DBS is a treatment that sends electrical signals to a part of the brain called the subthalamic nucleus to help control PD symptoms. The study wants to see which way works better and is easier for doctors and patients to use.

About 180 people will join this study from different locations, and it will last for 12 months. People aged 18 to 75 who have had DBS surgery but haven't turned it on yet can participate. But, it’s not for those with mental health issues, pregnant women, or other serious health conditions.

  • Duration: Study lasts for 12 months with follow-up visits.
  • Participants: 180 people from up to 14 sites.
  • Eligibility: Ages 18-75 with PD, after DBS surgery, but not powered on yet.

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.
