Who may be able to join
- People who have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and meet the standard medical requirements for a type of brain surgery called deep brain stimulation (DBS) on both sides of the brain.
- People who experience severe "freezing of gait" (a sudden inability to move the feet when walking) when their Parkinson's medication is not working well, and whose freezing only partially improves after taking levodopa (a common Parkinson's medication) — confirmed by a witnessed freezing episode during a medication test before surgery.
- People whose freezing of gait has been both reported by the patient or a caregiver and directly observed by a doctor or examiner in a clinical setting.
- People who are able to give informed consent and are willing and able to follow the study requirements.
Who may not be able to join
Each point below is a reason the trial team may not be able to accept someone. It is not a list of requirements to meet.
- People who have previously had an ischemic stroke (a blockage cutting blood flow to the brain), bleeding inside the brain, or a growth or mass inside the skull.
- People who have had any previous brain surgery.
- People who have other medical conditions that could affect or interfere with the study assessments (confirm with trial site).
- People who do not experience freezing of gait when their Parkinson's medication is working, as this group may already be manageable with current standard treatments.
