Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for people with Parkinson's Disease who have a deep brain stimulation system already implanted. Participants will help researchers understand how certain brain circuits work during movement.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

You may be able to join if

  • I have been implanted with a DBS system
  • I have existing 7T brain imaging
  • I have been diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's Disease
  • I am at least 21 years old

You may not be able to join if

  • I have another significant neurological disorder
  • I have been diagnosed with dementia
  • I am pregnant

Summarized in plain language from this trial's official eligibility criteria. The full criteria are further down this page — only the research team can confirm whether you qualify.

Think this trial could be right for you?

Answer three quick questions written from this study's own rules to see if you may qualify. No account needed to find out.

About This Trial

By defining the strength and direction of connectivity patterns at rest and during movement across the basal ganglia-thalamocortical (BGTC) network we will characterize the role of individual circuits in motor performance and cognitive function, paving the way for future development of optimization algorithms for DBS that take advantage of this understanding.
