Sponsor

University of Minnesota

Enrollment

100 participants

Start Date

Mar 5, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Deep Brain Stimulation Parkinsons Disease

Summary

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.

Eligibility

Min Age: 21 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is using advanced brain imaging to understand how deep brain stimulation (DBS) — a surgical treatment where electrodes are implanted in the brain — works in Parkinson's disease. By using ultra-high-resolution 7-Tesla MRI scans, researchers aim to map exactly where the DBS leads are placed and how this relates to patient outcomes. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 21 years of age or older - You have been diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's disease - You already have a DBS device implanted - You have had or are willing to have a 7-Tesla MRI scan **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have another significant neurological condition (as determined by the study doctor) - You have been diagnosed with dementia - You are pregnant Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
