Read our Parkinson Disease research guide →Researchers want to understand how deep brain stimulation—a device already approved by the FDA and implanted in your brain to treat Parkinson's disease—affects your movement and brain activity. This study will record signals from your implanted device and monitor your walking and movement over several weeks to see how the stimulation influences your symptoms and daily activities.
Some people with Parkinson's disease don't respond well to medication alone, even when they have a deep brain stimulation device. By studying the actual brain signals during the device's operation and connecting them to real-world movement changes, researchers hope to better understand how to optimize the treatment and improve outcomes for people like you.

You will allow researchers to record signals from your implanted deep brain stimulation device while you go about your normal daily activities for at least 4 weeks. They will monitor how your walking, balance, and movement change when the device is turned on and off, and they will connect these changes to the electrical signals being recorded from your brain. Some of this monitoring may happen at home using compatible device settings.
