About this study

Official title: Concurrent Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Local Field Potential Analysis and Stimulation in a Closed-Loop Neuromodulation Device

The purpose of this clinical study is to allow the investigation of local field potential (LFP) signals in patients treated with DBS of the STN. This study will identify common LFP biomarkers observed as a function of disease symptoms, medication effect, fluctuations in disease, and changes resulting from adjustments from current standard practices of DBS programming. The data collected and LFP markers identified will serve as guidelines for future stimulation predicted programming.

Read the detailed description

The goals of this study are to evaluate local field potentials (LFP) and associated beta, gamma and other band oscillations and their correlation with disease pathophysiology and clinical status of the patients, and to potentially determine a more objective biomarker of response to deep brain stimulation (DBS) treatment. This study aims to find evidence that changes in the power and coherence of the beta and gamma bands can be consistently linked to DBS adjustment and associated clinical effects. This approach can be of significant potential benefit to provide a foundation for closed loop DBS therapy in patients with continuous DBS adjustments.

This study will use a novel bi-directional neural interface system that can chronically and simultaneously record, sense, process and telemeter LFP signals from DBS electrode (Rouse et al. 2011) to study the stability and subsequent change to LFP linked to the clinical state relevant to the present disorder, and DBS stimulation at rest and during motor and cognitive tasks. This investigation will be conducted at the Ohio State University.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Activa PC+SDevice

    The Activa PC+S is a newly developed Medtronic DBS implantable system and is available for use in clinical research. This system has a mechanism for both sensing of LFP and the ability to provide deep brain stimulation therapy. The sensing capabilities are controllable with data management using a clinician sensing tablet programmer that has a USB extension allowing for telemetry to an encrypted, locked computer.

DBS LFP Activa PC+SExperimentalThe study aims at testing a slightly modified device (battery) that is similar to the approved system that has the potential of offering future patients a closed loop system with automatic adjustments of stimulation. The purpose of this clinical study is to allow the investigation of local field potential (LFP) signals in patients treated with DBS of the STN. This study will identify common LFP biomarkers observed as a function of disease symptoms, medication effect, fluctuations in disease, and changes resulting from adjustments from current standard practices of DBS programming.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Activa PC+S in people with Parkinson's Disease, run by Vibhor Krishna 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 5 inclusion and 18 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Nov 2016. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Identify and record LFP (time frame: 18 months). 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 17 Nov 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
