Brief Summary

This is an open-label, non-randomized, proof-of-concept comparison of clinical vs. research stimulation patterns in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) being treated with Deep Brain Stimulation (DB...

Detailed Description

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by both motor and non-motor symptoms. Motor symptoms of PD include the clinical triad of tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia, and ...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patients with idiopathic Parkinson's Disease who were recommended for STN DBS using standard clinical inclusion and exclusion criteria (e.g., presence of coagulopathy, dementia, untreated depression, pre-existing implanted stimulation system, prior intracranial surgery, history of alcohol or drug abuse)
  • Patients have been previously implanted with bilateral STN DBS and the Medtronic Percept PC implantable neural stimulator.
  • Patients are optimized for clinical stimulation and medication for at least 3 months post-surgery for the implantation of their DBS system.
  • Consent to study participation
  • Presence of a robust beta peak (detectable using the Percept BrainSense Survey feature; ≥ 0.7 µV/rtHz), intra-operatively (assessed via Lead Confirm technology from Alpha Omega)
  • Good response to stimulation (30% improvement on UPDRS III compared to baseline OFF), at least 3 months post-surgery.

Exclusion

  • Not currently implanted with the Medtronic Percept INS
  • Not willing to participate in the study
  • Unstable stimulation with need for frequent reprogramming or further adjustment
  • Significant stimulation-induced side effects
  • Need for unusual programming parameters such as very high (\> 200 Hz) or low (\< 100) frequencies (due to cycle limitations)
  • The patient has an implanted cardiac device
  • The patients Medtronic Percept TM PC indicates elective-replacement-indicated (ERI) at the start of the study
