Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

Age 18 or older
Diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and has previously been implanted with bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (DBS)
Received DBS at least three months prior to the time of the study to allow for optimization of usual clinical care
With at least mild tremor on a pre-operatory MDS-UPDRS clinical scale as defined by at least 2 out of 4 resting tremor grading on MDS-UPDRS on at least one extremity

Exclusion

Not having a post-operative head CT with 1mm or smaller axial slices at least 1 week after initial lead implantation.
Patients who received DBS less than three months prior to the start of the study

What this trial measures

  • Tremor duration as measured by wearablesApproximately eight hours

    An Apple iPhone will be used to collect about two hours of data of each participant using accelerometer to estimate tremor duration. This technology has been integrated into the StrivePD application (Rune Labs, San Francisco, CA) and has been used in other studies at Duke University.

  • Tremor severity as measured by wearablesApproximately eight hours

    An Apple iPhone will be used to collect about two hours of data of each participant using accelerometer to estimate tremor severity. This technology has been integrated into the StrivePD application (Rune Labs, San Francisco, CA) and has been used in other studies at Duke University.

  • Dyskinesia duration as measured by wearablesApproximately eight hours

    An Apple iPhone will be used to collect about two hours of data of each participant using accelerometer to estimate dyskinesia severity duration). This technology has been integrated into the StrivePD application (Rune Labs, San Francisco, CA) and has been used in other studies at Duke University.

  • Dyskinesia severity as measured by wearablesApproximately eight hours

    An Apple iPhone will be used to collect about two hours of data of each participant using accelerometer to estimate dyskinesia severity. This technology has been integrated into the StrivePD application (Rune Labs, San Francisco, CA) and has been used in other studies at Duke University.
