Simplified, Scalable, 24-hour Adaptive DBS for Parkinson's Disease

This study is testing a new way to treat Parkinson's disease (PD) using a deep brain stimulation (DBS) device called Medtronic Percept. You would have this device implanted, and it uses electrodes placed under your scalp. Researchers want to see if a personalized, adaptive DBS (aDBS) setting, which changes based on your brain signals, works better than the standard continuous DBS (cDBS) for managing your movement and/or sleep problems. They will compare how well aDBS works against cDBS. This study is looking for 24 participants between 25 and 75 years old who have idiopathic PD and haven't found enough relief from oral medications. The study's success will be measured by how much your bothersome movement and/or sleep episodes change with aDBS compared to cDBS.

Study design
This interventional study plans to enroll 24 participants. It will compare adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) settings to continuous deep brain stimulation (cDBS) settings.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary outcome will be measured at Baseline, during aDBS testing, and during Blinded Assessment.
