The city of Sacramento, California, currently has 3 active clinical trials seeking participants for Parkinson's Disease research studies.
Dual Frequency Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease
Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the dorsal region of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is very effective for reducing motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). Modeling studies suggest that this therapy may result in current spread into the ventral STN, causing altered cognitive processes. As a result, current stimulation parameters often lead to worsening in verbal fluency, executive function, and, particularly, cognitive control. There is evidence suggesting that low frequency oscillatory activi... Read More
