Reduce exertion with adaptive stimulation

Trial ID
NCT06296810
Official Title
Implementation of Adaptive DBS to Offset STN Dysregulation During Exercise and Reduce Exertion in Parkinson's Disease
Goal
Reduce exertion with adaptive stimulation
Status
RECRUITING
Sponsor
University of Colorado, Denver
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
10 participants
Conditions
Parkinson Disease
Interventions
aDBS

Plain-Language Summary

The goal is to see if adaptive deep brain stimulation can prevent abnormal subthalamic nucleus activity during exercise, so people with Parkinson's feel less exertion and fatigue while moving. The approach uses your already‑implanted Medtronic Sensight leads and Percept IPG to sense STN signals and automatically adjust stimulation strength in real time, stabilizing motor signals during activity rather than relying on a fixed setting, and it is a device change that works alongside your current medications and DBS hardware. The study seeks 20 to 70 year olds who already have a Sensight implant with a Percept IPG, can complete the exercise testing, and can give informed consent, with about 10 people expected to enroll.
