Who may be able to join

  • Pathology requiring brain stimulation therapy (criteria of severity, therapeutic resistance and severity of disability): motor disorders (eg Parkinson's disease, dystonia) or psychiatric disorders (eg OCD, depression).
  • These pathologies therefore include motor disorders (eg Parkinson's disease, dystonia) or psychiatric disorders that can be treated with brain stimulation therapy. Note that these are independent of motor disorders. The inclusion criteria obviously depend on the pathology.
  • As an example for a motor pathology treated by stimulation, in Parkinson's disease the following inclusion criteria are used :
  • patients aged 18 to 75 and affiliated to a social security scheme
  • Idiopathic Parkinson's disease that meets the United Kingdom Parkinson's Disease Brain Bank (UKPDSBB) criteria or suffering from recessive autosomal juvenile parkinsonism

Research hypotheses

The mechanisms of action of the deep brain stimulation (DBS) involve the modulation of the activity, locally and on a large scale, of functional cortical-subcortical networks showing pathological behavior beforehand. The electrophysiological measurements in response to different tasks make it possible to highlight precise dysfunctions of these neural networks, in relation with the behavioral and / or motor disorders associated with the pathologies treated by DBS.

Consequently, we hypothesize that the exploitation of electrophysiological responses during cognitive or sensorimotor tasks performed during the implantation procedure of stimulation electrodes in patients treated with DBS will allow :

  • To collect fundamental data to understanding the physiological functioning of basal ganglia in humans ;
  • To collect functional markers from the operating room in relation to the symptoms targeted by the DBS that will help in the choice of implantation site of the stimulation electrode ;
  • Define long-term predictive markers of DBS effects by comparing electrophysiological effects measured post-operatively and clinical scores under DBS.

What participants receive

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

  • electrophysiological data from DBSOther

    For each selected patient, the evaluation of cognitive or sensory-motor functions by electrophysiology will be conducted in the operating room, preoperatively the week before implantation and post-operatively within five days between the implantation of deep electrodes and the setting of the stimulator.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing electrophysiological data from DBS in people with Parkinson Disease and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, run by University Hospital, Grenoble at 1 site in France.

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 31 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 14 Mar 2019. 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 France. 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 Olivier David, Dr (04 56 52 05 86, Olivier.David@inserm.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of functional markers derived from electrophysiological signals recorded during cognitive tests. (time frame: 5 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Mar 2019.
