Procedure
DBS Therapy for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Recruiting1 award8 criteria
Houston, Texas
This trial involves using Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) to help patients with severe OCD who haven't responded to other treatments. The DBS device sends electrical signals to specific brain areas to control OCD symptoms by regulating abnormal brain activity.
Procedure
DBS for Treatment-Resistant Depression
Recruiting1 award
Houston, Texas
This trialwill study if a brain stimulation technique (DBS) can help 6 people with depression that hasn't been helped by other treatments. Primary outcome measure will be their depression levels 6 months after the stimulation.

Nerve Grafts + DBS Surgery for Parkinson's Disease
Recruiting1 awardPhase 1
Lexington, Kentucky
This trial tests the safety of implanting a patient's own nerve tissue into their brain during surgery for Parkinson's disease. The goal is to use natural substances from the nerve tissue to help protect and repair brain cells affected by the disease.
Behavioural Intervention
Alternating-Frequency DBS for Parkinson's Disease
Recruiting1 awardPhase 1
Cleveland, Ohio
This trial is testing a new type of brain stimulation that changes how often electrical signals are sent to the brain. It aims to help Parkinson's Disease patients who have trouble with balance and walking, problems that current treatments can't fix. By adjusting the stimulation pattern, researchers hope to improve these movement issues.

Neuromodulation Therapy
Deep Brain Stimulation for Essential Tremor
Recruiting1 award5 criteria
Minneapolis, Minnesota
This trial will use subject-specific computational models to guide clinicians in choosing stimulation settings for deep brain stimulation targeting the Vim thalamus, an FDA-approved neuromodulation therapy for treating postural and action tremor in individuals with essential tremor.
Procedure
MRI to Study Deep Brain Stimulation Effects in Neurodegenerative Disease
Recruiting1 award
Toronto, Ontario
This trial studies the effects of a treatment using electrical impulses on patients with various neurological and psychiatric conditions. Researchers will use advanced imaging techniques to understand how this treatment affects brain function and structure. This method has been used for over twenty years to treat movement disorders and is a promising treatment for other conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
