U.S., May 8 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06960096) titled 'Cognitive Decline Following Deep Brain Stimulation: A DBS-fMRI Study' on April 11.
Brief Summary: The objective of this research study is to understand how Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) targeting the subthalamic nucleus (STN) affects cognitive networks in the brain, potentially leading to cognitive decline in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD).
