About this study

To compare the clinical outcome of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) treated with directional deep brain (dDBS) stimulation undergoing subthalamic deep brain stimulation operation (STN-DBS) under general anesthesia versus local anesthesia.

Read the detailed description

To compare the clinical outcome of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) treated with directional deep brain (dDBS) stimulation undergoing subthalamic deep brain stimulation operation (STN-DBS) under general anesthesia versus local anesthesia.

In awake group, 10 patients with Parkinson's disease were treated with St Jude Medical/Abbott Infinity DBS system, and the electrode implantation and testing were performed while the patients were awake. In asleep group, 14 patients with Parkinson's disease were treated with St Jude Medical/Abbott Infinity DBS system, and the electrode implantation were performed while the patients were under general anesthesia. The clinical outcome of the DBS treatment, possible adverse effects and the electrode placement will be compared within these two groups.

What is being measured

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

  1. The change of UPDRS III score

    The UPDRS III score (0-60 points) at 6-months' follow-up compared to preoperative UPDRS III score

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The change of levodopa equivalent dose, LED

    The change of levodopa equivalent dose (LED 0 - 2000 mg) at 6-months' follow-up compared to preoperative LED

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Electrode trajectory

    The comparison of the actual trajectory of the DBS electrode and the anticipated trajectory of the DBS electrode in both patient groups

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease and Deep Brain Stimulation, run by Hospital District of Helsinki and Uusimaa at 1 site in Finland.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Sep 2023. 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 Finland. 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?

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?

The change of UPDRS III score (time frame: 6 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 28 Sep 2023.
