NCT04390867

Brief Summary

This study will test newly developed stimulation settings called Temporally Optimized Patterned Stimulation or TOPS, which can be used with an already implanted deep brain stimulation system. The purpose of this study is to determine if TOPS DBS can improve Parkinson's symptoms compared to Standard DBS.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • Movement Disorders Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part III Motor score - Off medication/On DBS

    Average difference between the best TOPS and Standard. The MDS-UPDRS Part III is the sum of 33 scores evaluating a set of Parkinson's disease motor symptoms on a scale from 0 to 4 points. A score of 0 indicates no symptom is present and a maximum score of 4 indicates the most severe symptom. The total scale range is 0-132, where higher scores indicate more severe symptoms.

    After 1 week treatment period using each pattern

  • Study related adverse device effects
