Brief Summary

  1. 1.Evaluating therapeutic effects of globus pallidus internus (GPi) deep brain stimulation (DBS) on Huntington's disease (HD) patients with chorea;
  2. 2.Explore the relationship between brain network conditions and DBS efficacy in HD patients
  3. 3.Explore the effect of different programmed parameters on the treatment of patients with DBS

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale(UHDRS)-total score difference

    Difference between groups in the UHDRS total score at 3 months postoperative;from 0 to 124 points; the higher scores mean a worse outcome

    3 months postoperatively compared between groups

  • Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale(UHDRS)-total score difference

    Difference in the UHDRS total score at 6 months postoperative compared with baseline

    6 months postoperatively compared with baseline

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • UHDRS-Chorea subscore difference

    6 months postoperatively compared with baseline

  • Mental Behavior Rating Scale difference

    6 months postoperatively compared with baseline

  • Mental Behavior Rating Scale difference

    6 months postoperatively compared with baseline

  • EuroQol five dimensions questionnaire (EQ-5D) difference

    6 months postoperatively compared with baseline

  • Neuroimage

    preoperative, 3 months and 6 months postoperative

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

HD-sham-DBS

SHAM COMPARATOR

This group of patients will be re-launched 3 months after surgery, continued stimulation for 3 months

Device: Deep brain stimulation

Interventions

the HD-DBS arm will be routinely activated after surgery and then stimulated for 6 months(6 months stimulation). The HD-shamDBS arm will be re-launched 3 months after surgery, continued stimulation for 3 months(3 months stimulation), and then entered the open study.

Masking Details
This study adopts a blind design. One day before the first programming, the grouper and the programmer will release the cover independently. Only the grouper and the programmer will know the group information of each patient, in which the programmer does not communicate with the patient about the programming parameters. After each programming, the results are uniformly placed in the programmer to keep the others (patients, neurologists) blind about grouping and parameters. The evaluation will be finished by neurologists and video records of the patient's motor assessment. Neurologists do not participate in the surgical treatment and programmer. The statistical team is independent of other researchers. When performing statistical analysis, only the group information is known, the programming parameters corresponding to the group are blinded. The Medtronic company only provides equipment support and does not participate in any clinical research process.

Intervention Model
CROSSOVER
Model Details: Patients will be randomized into two groups, of which the first group will be routinely activated after surgery and then stimulated for 6 months. The second group of patients will be re-launched 3 months after surgery, continued stimulation for 3 months, and then entered the open study. Patient data will be collected before surgery, 3 months after surgery, and 6 months after surgery.
