Personalize brain stimulation to symptoms

Trial ID
NCT07336199
Official Title
Pairing Subjective Patient Rating and Local Field Potentials for DBS Programming
Goal
Personalize brain stimulation to symptoms
Status
RECRUITING
Sponsor
Ludwig-Maximilians - University of Munich
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
25 participants
Conditions
Parkinson's Disease (PD)
Interventions
No intervention (observational study)

Plain-Language Summary

The team aims to make deep brain stimulation programming more precise by matching patients' brief symptom and side effect ratings with the brain's electrical signals, so clinicians can pick settings that better control Parkinson's signs. They will record local field potentials, the small electrical rhythms from the subthalamic nucleus captured by sensing-enabled implanted pulse generators, while participants report how they feel, then look for signal patterns that correspond to better or worse symptom control; nothing new is implanted or given, it is observational. About 25 people aged 35 to 80 with clinician-confirmed idiopathic Parkinson's who already have bilateral STN-DBS with a device that can record signals, who can consent and communicate reliably, and who do not have dementia or severe medical or psychiatric conditions are eligible.
