Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for people with Parkinson's disease who are having surgery to implant a Deep Brain Stimulation system. By participating, you will help researchers understand how the brain works in Parkinson's and how it relates to movement and thinking issues.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
- I have been diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's disease.
- I am at least 21 years old.
- I am planning to have surgery at UMN for a DBS system.
You may not be able to join if
- I have another significant neurological disorder.
- I have a history of dementia.
- I have had complications or adverse effects from surgery that affect my safety.
- I am pregnant.
- I have had unsafe radiation exposure in the last year.

About This Trial
This study will help us better understand how the brain works in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). PD is a brain disease that gets worse over time, and affects over 10 million people world-wide. A common treatment for PD is Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). To improve DBS therapy for PD, we need a deeper understanding of how the different parts of the brain work together in PD, and how this relate…
