Basal Ganglia Local Field Potentials in Gait and Speech

An observational study of Basal Ganglia Diseases, run by Kai Bötzel at 1 site in Germany.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

Electrid activity of the basal ganglia will be recorded with an implantable deep brain stimulation device (supplied by Medtronic Inc). Study hypothesis is that these activities differ according to what the patient does, i.e. are different during gait and speech. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Recording of Gait and Speech Related Neurophysiological Parameters With an Implantable Bi-directional Deep Brain Stimulation System in Parkinson's Disease

Electrid activity of the basal ganglia will be recorded with an implantable deep brain stimulation device (supplied by Medtronic Inc).

Study hypothesis is that these activities differ according to what the patient does, i.e. are different during gait and speech.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Basal Ganglia Diseases, run by Kai Bötzel at 1 site in Germany.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jul 2013. 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 Germany. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Kai Boetzel, M.D (00498970953673, kboetzel@med.uni-muenchen.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Difference of frequency spectrum of basal ganglia local field potentials during gait and speech (time frame: 1 year). 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 23 Jul 2013.
