The Effect of Clear Masks on Patient Satisfaction With Physician Communication During Awake Brain Surgery
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Clear Mask for Communication and Patient Satisfaction. Completed, enrolled 72 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate participants' experience and satisfaction during the awake deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedure. Normally, the neurologist will ask the participant questions and also ask the participant to perform tasks during surgery. During this time, the neurologist will be talking to the participant and the participant will be responding by answering questions or participating with the tasks. For some study participants, there will be one small change made to the typical way the neurologist conducts this evaluation. The study staff will then ask the study participants about their experience with the neurologist's evaluation. The subject will not be told what part of the evaluation is changed for the study, until after they have responded to the questionnaire.
