Electrophysiology-based DBS Programming for PD (NCT07348705)

Electrophysiology-based Deep Brain Stimulation Programming for Parkinson's Disease

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic โš™๏ธ Medical Device Protocol Sponsor: University of Florida

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) effectively alleviates motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, current programming is manual and time-consuming. This study will evaluate physiology-based programming using local field potentials (LFPs) to identify optimal stimulation parameters. Specifically, DBS contact selection based on beta power and a broad-band approach will be compared with conventional clinician-based programming.
