About this study
Official title: Effect of Frequency Change in Bilateral Subthalamic Nucleus (STN)-DBS on Gait Function in PD
In this study the investigators will evaluate the effect of both low and high frequency Deep Brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in Parkinson's patients who have noted a change in their walking. The investigators' hypothesis is:
- Stimulation at 60 Hertz (Hz) is associated with improved gait with increased stride length and faster time on the Stand walk sit test.
- There is no worsening of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) at 60 Hz.
- Conditions
- Parkinson Disease
- Being tested
- Frequency change to 60 Hz, Frequency change to 130 Hz
- Keywords
- Parkinson's Disease, DBS, Frequency, Deep brain stimulation
- Medical subject headings

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
In this study the investigators will evaluate the effect of both low and high frequency Deep Brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in Parkinson's patients who have noted a change in their walking. The investigators' hypothesis is:
- Stimulation at 60 Hertz (Hz) is associated with improved gait with increased stride length and faster time on the Stand walk sit test.
- There is no worsening of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) at 60 Hz.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing Frequency change to 60 Hz and Frequency change to 130 Hz in people with Parkinson Disease, run by Vanderbilt University at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jan 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Jan 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in Stride Length From Baseline (time frame: 1 hour). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Jan 2012.
