Investigating Fall Risk After Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease
This study is looking at how Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) affects thinking, movement, and the risk of falls in people with Parkinson's disease. DBS is a treatment option for Parkinson's when medications don't fully control symptoms like stiffness, slow movement, or tremor. Researchers want to understand why some people might fall more often after DBS, even though it helps with other symptoms. You might be able to join if you are 30-80 years old, have Parkinson's disease, and have already decided to have DBS surgery as part of your regular care. The main goal is to see how many falls you report from when you join until about 4-5 months later. The study plans to enroll 20 participants, but its current status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 20 participants. It will assess individuals before and 3 months after receiving Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) as part of their standard medical care.
- What's involved
- You will be assessed before your Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery and again 3 months after the surgery. The total study duration from enrollment to end will be 4-5 months.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for self-reported falls from enrollment until the end of the study, which will be 4-5 months after joining.
