Neural and Kinematic Features of Freezing of Gait for Adaptive Neurostimulation
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Activa PC+S Neurostimulator for Parkinson Disease. Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Continuous deep brain stimulation (cDBS) is an established therapy for the major motor signs in Parkinson's disease, however some patients find that it does not adequately treat their freezing of gait (FOG). Currently, cDBS is limited to "open-loop" stimulation,without real-time adjustment to the patient's state of activity, fluctuations and types of motor symptoms, medication dosages, or neural markers of the disease. The purpose of this study is to determine if an adaptive DBS system,responding to patient specific, clinically relevant neural or kinematic feedback related to FOG, is more effective than continuous DBS on the motor Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS III) and gait measures of PD.
