Treatment ResistAnt Depression Subcallosal CingulatE Network DBS
Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of bilateral stimulation of the subcallosal cingulate white matter (SCCwm) using Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) as an adjunctive treatment of non-psychotic unipolar Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in adults.
Remotely Supervised Home-based Transcranial Temporal Interference Stimulation on Motor Symptoms in Parkinson's Disease: Protocol For a Double Blind Randomized Controlled Trial
Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if home-based temporal interference stimulation (TIS) works to improve motor symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). It will also learn about the safety of this treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does home-based TIS improve movement problems such as slow movement, stiffness, and walking difficulty? 2. Are the effects mainta...
Deep Brain Stimulation Therapy in Movement Disorders
Background: \- In deep brain stimulation (DBS), a device called a neurostimulator is placed in the chest. It is attached to wires in parts of the brain that affect movement. DBS might help people with movement disorders like Parkinson s disease (PD), dystonia, and essential tremor (ET).
Safety and Effectiveness of Valbenazine as Adjunct Therapy to Botulinum Toxin Injections in Cervical Dystonia
Summary: The most common form of idiopathic dystonia is adult-onset cervical dystonia (CD), a focal form of dystonia affecting the muscles of the neck. CD is often associated with pain and limited range of motion, and frequently leads to reduced quality of life and disability. Effective long-term treatment options are extremely limited. Recurring botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injections can ease the symptoms...
Registry of Deep Brain Stimulation With the VERCISE™ System: Vercise DBS Registry
Summary: The purpose of this registry is to compile characteristics of world-wide outcomes for the use of Boston Scientific's commercially available Vercise DBS System in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. The utilization of Image Guided Programming (IGP), and other commercially available programming features, used as planning tools for the programming of patients with Boston Scientific's Vercise DBS Sy...
Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery for Movement Disorders
Background: \- Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an approved surgery for certain movement disorders, like Parkinson's disease, that do not respond well to other treatments. DBS uses a battery-powered device called a neurostimulator (like a pacemaker) that is placed under the skin in the chest. It is used to stimulate the areas of the brain that affect movement. Stimulating these areas helps to block the nerve s...
Udall Project 1 Aim 4
Summary: By defining the strength and direction of connectivity patterns at rest and during movement across the basal ganglia-thalamocortical (BGTC) network we will characterize the role of individual circuits in motor performance and cognitive function, paving the way for future development of optimization algorithms for DBS that take advantage of this understanding.
An Open-label Clinical Trial Investigating the Long-term Safety of Buntanetap in Treating Participants With Parkinson's Disease
Summary: This study will examine the long-term safety of buntanetap in participants with PD. This will be a 36-month open-label safety study. This study will be conducted with two cohorts. Cohort 1 will enroll via invitation only for PD participants who have previously participated in buntanetap clinical trials. Cohort 2 will be for PD participants who are receiving deep brain stimulation (DBS) treatment. ...
The Children's Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation for Epilepsy Trial (CADET): a Pivotal, Randomized, Controlled, Double-blinded Multi-site Clinical Trial of Deep Brain Stimulation to Treat Children With Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome
Summary: The CADET Trial will investigate the effectiveness of deep brain stimulation (DBS) to reduce the frequency of seizures in children with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS). The CADET Trial will use a non-CE/UKCA marked device - the Picostim DBS system. The SMART-DBS study is a sub-study of the CADET Trial. SMART-DBS will investigate the application of adaptive DBS for the treatment of children with LGS....
Cuneiform Nucleus (CnF) Deep Brain Stimulation for Gait Facilitation Following Spinal Cord Injury
Summary: This is a study about deep brain stimulation (DBS) as an investigational treatment for walking impairment following spinal cord injury (SCI). The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and inform on the safety, and efficacy of CnF DBS to improve gait in SCI patients with incomplete injury who cannot effectively walk overground
A Double-Blinded, Randomized, Crossover Trial of Stereoencephalography- Guided Multi-Lead Deep Brain Stimulation for Treatment-Refractory Obsessive- Compulsive Disorder (SEEG-Guided DBS for OCD)
Summary: This is a multi-site, double-blinded, randomized, crossover study design for SEEG-guided 4-lead DBS for treatment-refractory OCD, followed by open label stimulation for an additional 6 months. The study will be conducted in 3 stages: Stage 1 will consist of SEEG brain mapping and optimization of stimulation parameters. Stage 2 will consist of DBS surgery and further optimization of stimulation par...
Boston Scientific Registry of Deep Brain Stimulations for Treatment of Essential Tremor (ET):ET Registry
Summary: To compile characteristics of real-world outcomes for Boston Scientific Corporation's commercially approved Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Systems, when used according to the applicable Directions for Use, for the treatment of Essential Tremor.
