NCT02982304

Brief Summary

Dystonia is increasingly being considered as a multi-nodal network disorder involving both basal ganglia and cerebellar dysfunction. The aim of this study is to determine if "Multi-Target" Thalamic and Pallidal Deep Brain Stimulation improves hemi-dystonia patients who are receiving inadequate therapy from GPi DBS.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Burke Fahn Marsden Disability Rating Scale (BFMDRS)

    3 months

  • SF-36 Quality of Life Scale

    3 months

  • Adverse effects of Vim or Vim + GPi Neuromodulation

    3 months

Study Arms (3)

Pallidal (GPi) Deep Brain Stimulation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

GPi is the standard target for treating most dystonia. This setting will be the active comparator

Device: Deep Brain Stimulation

Thalamic (Vim) Deep Brain Stimulation

EXPERIMENTAL

Vim is the standard target to treat cerebellar dysfunction in movement disorders. It is not routinely used in secondary dystonia

Device: Deep Brain Stimulation

GPi + Vim (Multi-Target) Deep Brain Stimulation

EXPERIMENTAL

Combined stimulation of GPi and Vim stimulation (both electrodes ON)

Device: Deep Brain Stimulation

Interventions

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 65 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Diagnosed with hemi-dystonia secondary to stroke
  • Candidate for GPi DBS
  • Able to provide informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • History of intracranial pathology (such as multiple sclerosis, tumors, or aneurysms) that may account for dystonia or essential tremor.
  • History or evidence of ongoing psychiatric or neurodegenerative disorders (such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease).
  • Incompetent adults or those unable to communicate.
