Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for individuals with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait. Participants will undergo deep brain stimulation treatments and help researchers understand how this affects their attention and movement.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
- I am over 18 years old.
- I experience freezing of gait.
- I have had bilateral deep brain stimulation surgery for my Parkinson's.
You may not be able to join if
- I have uncorrected visual or hearing problems.
- I am pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study.
- I have dementia or brain lesions affecting my thinking or movement.

About This Trial
The purpose of this research is to determine how deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease affects attention and visuospatial function. Additionally, this study will evaluate how deficits in visual attention are associated with freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson's disease. There is currently no reliable treatment for FOG and little is understood about the underlying reason this occurs.…
