Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of low frequency deep brain stimulation on subthalamic nucleus neural synchrony. Low frequency stimulation does not improve the cardinal motor signs of Parkinson's disease, and may be beneficial only for gait and speech. This study will provide insight into what the effects of low frequency stimulation are on neural synchrony.

Primary Outcome

The changes in neuronal oscillations, measured in power (dB/Hz) and frequency (Hz), that are significantly different between periods of low frequency stimulation and periods of no stimulation - during rest - in people with Parkinson's disease off medications.

Interventions

  • OTHER DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation)
