Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
GPi DBS
Patients selected to undergo GPi DBS placement will be eligible for enrollment in the study. In addition to standard-of-care tests, subjects will undergo an MRI consisting of the proposed novel imaging protocol prior to placement of DBS. The patient will subsequently undergo standard-of-care therapy for DBS placement. Once the stimulator has been programmed post-operatively, the stimulation parameters and corresponding clinical changes will be collected and used to model the volume of activated tissue. The patient will additionally undergo a follow-up MRI used to localize the electrode within the brain to further localize the volume of activated tissue.
