Brain stimulation improves daily motivation

Trial ID
NCT05065151
Official Title
Understanding Motivation in Parkinson's Patients Through Neurophysiology
Goal
Brain stimulation improves daily motivation
Phase
NA
Status
RECRUITING
Sponsor
University of California, San Francisco
Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Enrollment
70 participants
Conditions
Parkinson Disease, Deep Brain Stimulation, Motivation
Interventions
Stimulation on, Stimulation off, Decision Making Task

Plain-Language Summary

The goal is to understand how deep brain stimulation changes motivation and decision-making in people with Parkinson's disease or dystonia, by linking choices to brain signals. Participants who already have a Medtronic Percept or RC+S DBS system implanted in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) or globus pallidus interna (GPi) will do decision-making tasks while researchers switch stimulation on and off and record neural activity, so we can see how the electrical pulses from DBS alter motivation-related brain circuits and behavior. The study seeks adults 18 and older who are at least one month post-DBS surgery with unilateral or bilateral Percept or RC+S implants, who do not have severe cognitive impairment (MoCA 20 or above) and are not pregnant.
