Algorithm Guided DBS Programming in Parkinson's Patients

Recruiting
Both
Phase N/A

Parkinson's disease is a condition that affects movement. This study is exploring a new way to program a treatment called Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), where tiny electric signals are sent to the brain to help control symptoms. The study will compare the usual programming method with a new one called StimSearch to see which works better and faster.

Participants will have had DBS before and will try both the usual and new programming. They will be checked for how well each method works in improving movement and how long it takes. To join, you need to have Parkinson's, show a certain level of symptoms, and improve with a specific medicine before surgery. You must also understand the study and agree to take part. However, if you have serious mental health issues, you can't join.

  • Study involves trying two programming methods to see which is better.
  • Participants must have had DBS and meet specific health criteria.
  • Those with serious mental health issues cannot participate.
