Who may be able to join

AI generated eligibility summary. Written by an AI model from the official source data and checked on a sample basis. It can contain mistakes, so confirm anything important against the original source. How we use AI

Who might be able to join this trial:

  • You are over 40 years old
  • You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease based on a specific standard set of diagnostic guidelines called the UK Brain Bank criteria
  • You experience "freezing of gait" (sudden episodes where your feet feel stuck to the ground and you cannot move), confirmed by a questionnaire and an objective evaluation showing this has happened in the last month
  • You have already been selected by a specialist medical conference at MUSC to receive a type of brain surgery called Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) targeting a specific area of the brain

Who may not be able to join:

  • You have a significant walking or movement problem caused by something other than Parkinson's disease (for example, a bone or joint condition)
  • You are unable to complete a walking test called the "Timed Up and Go" task on your own, without help from another person or a walking aid, when your Parkinson's medication is not active
  • You cannot have an MRI scan — for example, because you are unable to lie flat, you are pregnant, or you have certain metal implants in your body that are not safe for MRI
  • You have already had a DBS device fitted that is not compatible with 3 Tesla (3T) MRI scanners (confirm with trial site)
