Cognitive Decline Following Deep Brain Stimulation

A Neural Basis for Cognitive Decline Following Deep Brain Stimulation

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 29 May 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This research study aims to identify MRI-based brain biomarkers that predict an individual's response to Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). In particular, this study will focus on changes in cognition associated with DBS. A total of 55 participants with Parkinson's Disease planning to undergo DBS will be recruited from MUSCs Clinical DBS Program. Participants will undergo four visits, including a 1-hour screening visit, a 1.5-hour pre-DBS MRI scanning visit, and a 3.5-hour post-DBS cognitive assessment visit. In addition control participants without Parkinson's Disease will be recruited to undergo MRI scanning and cognitive assessments.
