About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Parkinson's Disease focused on measuring Deep Brain Stimulation

Eligibility Criteria

45 Years - 70 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease stage 1-3 that underwent subthalamic nucleus (STN) Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) and have walking difficulties 6-12 months after DBS.
  • On stable dose of dopaminergic drugs
  • Age 45-70 years of age

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Past medical history of seizures
  • Renal insufficiency
  • Cardiac arrhythmia
  • Severe arthritis
  • Women of childbearing potential
  • Dementia
  • Less than 45 years of age or older than 70 years of age

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Walking Speed
Walking speed will be measured using sensors reported in meter per second.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Stride Length
Stride length will be measured using sensors and will be reported in meters.
UPDRS Scores
Unified Parkinson's disease rating Scale (UPDRS) has a total score ranging from 0-108 with the highest score indicating worse condition.
TUG Test
Time Up and Go (TUG) Test reports the time it takes for participant to stand up from chair, walk around a cone and return to chair.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Deep Brain stimulation (DBS) on walking in patients with Parkinson's disease that have had DBS. While DBS improves Parkinson's disease (PD) symptoms and walking in many patients in some of the patients walking problems persist. This study aims to find out what are the best stimulation parameters of the DBS in order to improve walking.
