Who might be able to join this trial:
- You have Parkinson's disease and are already being treated with a deep brain stimulator (a device implanted in the brain to control movement symptoms), and it is working well to manage your movement problems such as slowness, stiffness, and tremor.
- You experience "freezing of gait" (episodes where your feet feel stuck to the ground and you cannot move them) during your normal daily activities, even when your brain stimulator settings have been optimised, as confirmed by a specific questionnaire score (the New Freezing of Gait Questionnaire).
Who may not be able to join:
- You are unable to walk 10 meters (about 33 feet) on your own without help.
- Your brain stimulator settings cannot be safely increased by a small amount without causing unwanted side effects (confirm with trial site).
- You have previously had serious side effects from higher doses of Parkinson's medication (levodopa) or increased brain stimulator intensity, such as hallucinations, psychosis, painful involuntary movements, a severe drop in blood pressure, or significant digestive problems.
- You have been diagnosed with dementia, based on a low score on a standard memory and thinking test (called the MMSE).
