The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of deep brain stimulation of the nucleus basalis of Meynert (also called the "nbM") at improving memory in Parkinson's disease patients with mild cognitive impairments and memory difficulties. Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) that are eligible for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) therapy for improvement of their motor symptoms and with evidence of mild cognitive impairments and memory difficulties will be enrolled.
This is a prospective, double-blind (patient and neuropsychologist), randomized, cross-over study to evaluate the safety of deep brain stimulation of the nucleus basalis of Meynert (nbM) in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI) who are undergoing globus pallidus internus (GPi) stimulation for their motor symptoms. Six patients with PD who are eligible for GPi DBS for improvement of their motor symptoms and who have a clinical diagnosis of PD-MCI (amnestic, single or multiple domain) per Movement Disorder Society (MDS) criteria will be enrolled and implanted with bilateral electrodes in in the nbM in addition to the globus pallidus internus (GPi). Conventional stereotactic implantation of the electrodes will be guided by intraoperative computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance tomography (MRT).

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| nbM stimulation ON for 3 months (GPi also on) | Experimental | Subjects will undergo activation of GPi and nbM electrodes The GPi's will be stimulated to achieve improvement in motor function. There is a double blind evaluation of DBS-nbM stimulation. Subjects will be those with nbM stimulation ON for a period of 3 months (GPi also on). No usual treatment is withheld. PD drug doses will be stable unless disabling dyskinesias warrants a reduction of medication. After initial 3 months period of stimulation subject will undergo a repeat of neuropsychological testing and Motor Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) rating prior to switching group assignment (cross-over). There will be a 2 day wash-out period of nbM stimulation for all subjects (both the On and Off groups) in order to minimize subject bias. Then, the subjects will undergo additional brief neuropsychological testing to asses for carry over effects. The subjects will then be switched to the alternate nbM stimulation group (cross-over) from their previous 3 month period. |

There is a double blind evaluation of DBS-nbM stimulation. Subjects will be those with nbM stimulation OFF for a period of 3 months (GPi is on). No usual treatment is withheld. PD drug doses will be stable during blinded parts of the assessment unless disabling dyskinesias warrants a reduction of medication. After initial 3 months period of stimulation subject will undergo a repeat of neuropsychological testing and Motor UPDRS rating prior to switching group assignment (cross-over). There will be a 2 day wash-out period of nbM stimulation for all subjects (both the On and Off groups) in order to minimize subject bias.

| stimulation ON | Device | The system used in the study includes the Model 37601 Activa PC stimulator, Model 3387 Lead and Model 37085 Extension, all manufactured and commercially available by Medtronic, Inc. Collectively, these devices will be referred to as "the DBS System". The DBS System is commercially available in the United States and was approved by FDA on July 31, 1997 under PMA P960009. It is indicated for deep brain stimulation for the treatment of symptoms of Parkinson's disease and essential tremor. |
