Phase N/A

Parkinson's Disease (PD) causes problems with movement, like walking. This study will test if a special device can help people with PD walk better. The device, called a deep brain stimulator (DBS), can be adjusted to help with different types of movements. It senses when a person is walking and changes settings to help them walk better. The goal is to use this device to improve walking while keeping other PD symptoms under control. Six people with PD who already have this device will join the study. The study will last several days, where participants will test different settings at home and track how they feel.

  • The study involves a few days of testing at home.
  • Participants must have the special DBS device.
  • The study is looking for people who can walk but have trouble.

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.
