NCT02763397

Brief Summary

The existing DBS setting in patients with DBS of the globus pallidus interna (GPi), which aims to treat motor symptoms by a high-frequency stimulation, will be temporarily reprogramed to stimulate the NbM at a low frequency using the distal electrodes positioned in the vicinity of the NBM. This study aims to investigate the neuropsychological effect of low frequency stimulation of the nucleus basalis of Meynert (NBM) in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, who were previously treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus interna (GPi).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Changes in global cognitive function measured by the Scales for Outcomes in Parkinson's disease-Cognition (SCOPA-COG)

    2 weeks of the crossover trial phase

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Changes of Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) part 3

    3 days of the screening phase

  • Changes of the power of background EEG frequencies

    2 weeks of the crossover trial phase

  • Score changes of stroop test

    2 weeks of the crossover trial phase

  • Score changes of the Trail Making test

    2 weeks of the crossover trial phase

  • Score changes of the digit span test of Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale III

    2 weeks of the crossover trial phase

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

NBM-DBS on

EXPERIMENTAL

DBS is programmed to stimulate the NbM

Device: NBM-DBS

DBS off

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

DBS is turned off, no stimulation will be exerted

Device: DBS

Interventions

NBM-DBSDEVICE

DBS which has already been implanted aiming initially to stimulate the GPi will be reprogrammed in order to stimulate more distal structure, the NBM.

NBM-DBS on
DBSDEVICE

DBS will be switched off

DBS off

Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with GPi stimulation, with the NBM within the vicinity of the electric field of at least one DBS electrode.
  • Patients should be able to give informed consent
  • Patients should be on a stable medication regimen for at least 4 weeks

You may not qualify if:

  • any unstable internal disease
  • Subject with significant worsening of motor function during the pilot screening study, which is indicated by an increase of the UPDRS part III score more than 30%, will not continue to the crossover trial
