About this trial

This is an interventional basic science trial for Parkinson's Disease focused on measuring deep brain stimulation, subthalamic nucleus

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participants diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's disease that meet criteria for treatment of their disease with STN-DBS. Participants will be selected for this study without regard for age (provided they are older than 18), gender or ethnic background.
  • Participants must have undergone subthalamic nucleus DBS surgery and be receiving treatment at the Scripps Clinic in La Jolla, CA

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients under 18 years old.
  • Patients with mini-mental status scores below 26/30.
  • Patients with known psychiatric disease.
  • Patients who are too infirm, demented or dysarthric to clearly understand the consenting process, task instructions, or to communicate verbally regarding participation or non-participation.

Sites / Locations

  • Scripps Clinic Torrey Pines

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Deep Brain Stimulation

Arm Description

Parkinson's patients with deep brain stimulation in the subthalamic nucleus.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

behavioral task performance
Participants will complete behavioral tasks at each of three visits to assess the effects of stimulation settings on task performance. At each research visit, behavior will be assessed beginning at 1 hour after the stimulation is adjusted to the experimental settings. Stimulation settings will be returned to each patient's treatment levels at the culmination of each visit.
