Circuit-Based Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease P1A2&3 Catalyst
This study will help us better understand how the brain works in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). PD is a brain disease that gets worse over time, and affects over 10 million people world-wide. A common treatment for PD is Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). To improve DBS therapy for PD, we need a deeper understanding of how the different parts of the brain work together in PD, and how this relates to movement and thinking problems that people with PD experience. We may be able to use the results of this study to improve DBS treatments in the future.
• Diagnosis of idiopathic PD
• Surgery at UMN to implant DBS system with directional lead(s) and multiple independent current control IPG is planned as part of routine clinical care
• At least 21 years old
• Existing or planned 7T brain imagery
