What participants receive

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

  • Algorithm based programming using Kinesia-based assessmentDevice

    Also called DBS-Expert

    DBS-Expert includes a tablet-based software application (app) for guiding DBS programming and a Kinesia motion sensor unit for automated motor assessment. Algorithms search the programming parameter space to resolve an optimal set of programming parameters.

Traditional Programming FirstExperimentalThese patients will be programmed by a clinician first and then undergo algorithm based programming using Kinesia-based assessment (DBS-Expert) within five days.
Receives: Device: Algorithm based programming using Kinesia-based assessment

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Programming time when programmed using Kinesia-based assessment (DBS-Expert) compared to programming time when programmed by a clinician

    Amount of time it took to arrive at DBS settings that provide sufficient therapeutic benefit will be compared across programming sessions

    Measured: Up to 2 hours (from start of programming session until end of programming session)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Algorithm based programming using Kinesia-based assessment in people with Parkinson Disease, run by Great Lakes NeuroTechnologies Inc. at 3 sites 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 27 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Dustin A Heldman, PhD (2163615410, dheldman@glneurotech.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Programming time when programmed using Kinesia-based assessment (DBS-Expert) compared to programming time when programmed by a clinician (time frame: Up to 2 hours (from start of programming session until end of programming session)). 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 Jun 2019.
