Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 21 to 90 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Parkinson's disease

Who may be able to join

  • Hoehn and Yahr stage 2 or worse when off medications
  • Average tremor and/or bradykinesia Unified Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) score greater than 2 off meds
  • L-dopa responsive with clearly defined "on" periods, UPDRS motor III average tremor and bradykinesia improves by 25%
  • Stable on medical therapy for at least one month prior to study enrollment
  • Clinical approval to undergo unilateral DBS surgery targeting the STN or GPi
  • Available to participate for six months following DBS surgery

Who cannot join

  • "Parkinson's plus" syndromes, secondary, or atypical Parkinson's syndromes (e.g. progressive supranuclear palsy, striato-nigral degeneration, multiple system atrophy, post-stroke, post-traumatic, or post-encephalitic Parkinson's. These patients have cardinal symptoms characteristic of PD but with additional symptoms indicating other organic brain dysfunction, such as gaze palsies, autonomic dysfunction, lack of response to L-dopa, these individuals tend not to improve with standard treatments for PD)
  • previous Parkinson's Disease surgery
  • medical contraindications to surgery or stimulation (e.g. uncontrolled hypertension, advanced coronary artery disease, other implanted stimulation or electronically-controlled devices including cardiac demand pacemaker, aneurysm clips, cochlear implants, or a spinal cord stimulator) (Note: for the subject who receives either a pacemaker and/or defibrillator after this study enrollment, he/she will be allowed to continue the study if the neurostimulator system can be adequately programmed to permit system compatibility)
  • contraindication to magnetic resonance imaging (e.g. indwelling metal fragments or implants that might be affected by MRI)
  • neuropsychological dysfunction (e.g. dementia) that would contraindicate surgery
  • intracranial abnormalities that would contraindicate surgery (e.g. stroke, tumor, vascular abnormality affecting the target area)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson's Disease, run by Great Lakes NeuroTechnologies Inc. 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 6 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 15 Sep 2014. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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.

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 15 Sep 2014.
