Quantitative Digitography to Evaluate the Efficacy of Image Guided Algorithmic DBS Programming
Quantitative Digitography to Evaluate the Efficacy of Image Guided Algorithmic DBS Programming
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate an automated deep brain stimulation (DBS) algorithm developed by Boston Scientific called Illumina 3D for motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD). The main question it aims to answer is: Is this new automated algorithm effective for treating motor symptoms of PD. Fifteen participants are anticipated to be enrolled.
Participants are individuals who recently were implanted with DBS in the subthalamic nucleus as part of their regular clinical treatment and are scheduled to have their DBS turned ON for the first time. In addition to their regular clinical visit when their DBS is turned ON by their clinician, participants are tested on DBS settings determined by Illumina 3D (an automated algorithm). Participants are tested on these different settings across different motor tasks, including walking and finger tapping, as well as answering questionnaires. The experiment is expected to last 1 or 2 days; this is not a longitudinal or long-term trial. Participants return to their usual DBS settings once they leave the clinic.
