Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for people with Parkinson's disease who have had surgery to implant deep brain stimulators. Participants will help researchers understand how different locations of stimulation affect motor symptoms.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
- I have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
- I have undergone surgery to implant deep brain stimulators.
- I have existing 7T brain imaging.
You may not be able to join if
- I have a history of movement issues due to musculoskeletal disorders.
- I have another significant neurological disorder.
- I have a history of dementia or cognitive impairment.
- I have had post-operative complications or adverse effects.

About This Trial
This protocol will characterize the effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) location (both adverse and beneficial) on motor signs in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). This information can be used to inform future DBS protocols to tailor stimulation to the specific needs of a patient. If targeted dorsal GP stimulation is shown to significantly improve motor features that are typically resistant…
