Evaluating and Understanding the Effects of Deep Brain Stimulation Using Novel Electrophysiology Technique and Device in Parkinson's Disease
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Novel neural recorder for Parkinson's Disease (PD). Completed, enrolled 1 participant across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this research is to test a new recorder that can measure brain activity when stimulation is turned on during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. To continue to improve DBS therapy, the investigators need to better understand the changes in the brain of people with Parkinson's disease (PD). They also need to know how this is affected by DBS. Current recorders measure activity immediately after, but not during, stimulation. Standard-of-care DBS already includes the electrical recording of brain activity during movement of arms and legs. These recordings occur during the microelectrode recording part of the surgery and are used by the medical team to determine where to place the DBS electrode.

Interventions
The neural recorder does not suffer saturation from stimulation artifacts, allowing circuits to record neural signals with higher precision.
