Udall Project 2 Aim 2A&C (NCT05656586)

Mechanisms and Effects of Pallidal Deep Brain Stimulation on Levodopa Resistant Motor Signs in Parkinson's Disease; Udall Project 2 Aim 2A&C

🟒 Recruiting Interventional Protocol πŸ“Š Observational Clinical Research Sponsor: University of Minnesota

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This protocol will leverage the novel (on-label, FDA-approved) local field potential measuring capability of the Medtronic Perceptβ„’ PC or RC DBS system to study the effects of globus pallidus internus, globus pallidus externus (GPi, GPe), and subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS on: the wash-out and wash-in dynamics of motor behavior and local field potentials (LFPs) and correlations between fluctuations in gait and LFPs during activities of daily living (recorded over a minimum of 4 weeks). These experiments will elucidate the relationships between LFPs oscillations, lower limb function, postural control and gait performance.
