About this study
Researchers are testing a treatment that uses brain stimulation to improve motor function in people who already have Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). The trial will involve measuring movement, speech, and swallowing functions before and after stimulating the motor thalamus.
Based on ClinicalTrials.gov records.
