This study employs an exploratory, prospective, single center, naturalistic clinical trial design with a randomized crossover intervention.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) stands as an established and robust treatment for various motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PWP). While it has shown promise in ameliorating non-motor symptoms, the mechanisms underlying these improvements remain poorly understood. A significant forthcoming shift in the DBS landscape is the transition towards closed-loop or "adaptive DBS" (aDBS). This approach relies on expanding knowledge of basal ganglia electrophysiology and its correlation with motor symptoms. Augmented beta frequency oscillations (13-35 Hz) in local field potentials (LFP) from the basal ganglia is correlated with severity of the motor systems bradykinesia/rigidity and serve as an electrophysiological biomarker for clinical state. Essentially, aDBS aims to modulate stimulation in response to neural state, offering more precise symptom control.
Sleep disturbances are a prevalent symptom in PWP, affecting a vast majority of patients, and serve as a significant non-motor contributor to quality of life. While DBS has demonstrated benefits in enhancing sleep efficiency and architecture, the mechanisms by which this might occur, as well as the optimal stimulation parameters for treating sleep dysfunctions are unknown. Sleep is associated with a dramatic change in subcortical neural activity compared to the wake state, with decreased beta activity, which could serve as a neurophysiological biomarker for the sleep state. Since beta frequencies are a common target for adaptive DBS studies in PD, addressing sleep-induced reductions in beta activity will be crucial for future algorithm development. Incorrectly interpreting sleep as the "medication-on" state may result in an adaptive algorithm providing the patient with non-optimal stimulation amplitudes that may adversely affect sleep.
There is an urgent need to identify the dose-response curve regarding how stimulation affects sleep quality and neurophysiology. Our primary objective is to address this knowledge gap by obtaining a comprehensive understanding of the subcortical neural signatures of sleep, and their correlation with sleep outcomes under different stimulation currents. This will ultimately enable us to establish the control policy for adaptive control of stimulation amplitude (current). Our central hypothesis is that different stimulation currents will elicit distinct effects on sleep subcortical neural signatures and sleep quality.

|---|---|---|---|
| Evaluate the Impact of Deep Brain Stimulation Settings on Sleep | Experimental | Participants with Parkinson's disease implanted with a Medtronic Perceptâ„¢ deep brain stimulation (DBS) system will undergo a 6-week in-home monitoring protocol. Each participant will be exposed to three different nighttime-only DBS stimulation settings in a randomized 2-week crossover design: (1) no stimulation (0% amplitude), (2) reduced stimulation (50% amplitude), and (3) optimal clinical stimulation. Sleep metrics will be collected nightly using the Dreem Headband wearable electroencephalogram (EEG) device. One night of polysomnography will also be conducted to validate the wearable. Subcortical local field potentials (LFPs) from the subthalamic nucleus will be recorded to assess band power and coherence during different stimulation settings and sleep stages. The study aims to evaluate the effect of DBS settings on sleep efficiency, spectral features of neural activity, and their correlation. |

| Nighttime Deep Brain Stimulation with Varying Amplitude Settings | Other | Participants will undergo three different nighttime-only Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) settings in a randomized crossover design: 0% amplitude (stimulation off), 50% amplitude of their optimal clinical DBS settings, and full clinical DBS settings (100%). Each setting is applied for two weeks during sleep, over a total six-week home monitoring period. The intervention is designed to assess how varying levels of subthalamic nucleus DBS influence sleep quality and neural oscillatory activity. Only nighttime DBS settings are modified; daytime settings remain unchanged. |

| To demonstrate differences in sleep efficiency (SE) among different stimulation settings. | Sleep efficiency will be calculated as: (total sleep time ÷ total time in bed) × 100, using nightly data collected via the Dreem Headband. The mean SE for each 2-week stimulation setting (0%, 50%, 100% amplitude) will be compared within subjects using crossover analysis. | At the end of each 2-week stimulation period (over 6 weeks total) |

Exclusion Criteria:
The main concern for vulnerable subjects will be for the possibility of reduced decision-making capacity. For this we intend to exclude individuals who have a diagnosis of dementia.
