Study Summary

This trial will help researchers understand how different types of cues can help patients with Parkinson's disease move more normally, which may lead to new treatments.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with advanced Parkinson's disease who are already scheduled for deep brain stimulation surgery. They should be able to cooperate during an awake procedure and have symptoms that improve with L-dopa or have a medication-refractory disabling tremor. Participants must not have cognitive impairments, psychiatric diseases, or medical conditions that rule out surgery.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to understand how certain stimuli facilitate movement in Parkinson's patients by recording brain activity during DBS surgery. Patients will perform movement tasks while awake, which could help identify new targets for treating symptoms unresponsive to current therapies.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the study involves standard clinical procedures of DBS surgery and no additional drugs, side effects are primarily related to the surgical process itself such as discomfort from being awake during the operation and potential risks associated with any surgical intervention.
