About this study

Official title: Clinical Investigation for Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation (aDBS)Closed-loop Device Controlled by Local Field Potentials in Parkinson's Disease.

Despite its therapeutic effectiveness in Parkinson's disease (PD) the current deep brain stimulation (DBS) strategy could achieve an even better clinical result by adapting to patient's condition. As intracerebral activity analyzed by recording local field potentials (LFPs) from DBS electrodes correlates to PD symptoms, a new stimulation approach would be an "intelligent" adaptive DBS system able to change stimulation settings automatically to the patient's needs using LFPs as control variable.

Read the detailed description

Despite their proven efficacy in treating Parkinson's disease (PD), deep brain stimulation (DBS) systems could be further optimized to maximize treatment benefits. In particular, because current DBS strategies based on fixed stimulation settings leave the typical parkinsonian motor fluctuations and rapid symptom variations partly uncontrolled, research has focused on developing a novel adaptive DBS (aDBS) system able to adapt moment-by-moment to the patient's clinical condition. aDBS consists of a simple closed-loop model designed to measure and analyze a control variable reflecting the patient's clinical condition to change stimulation settings and send them to an "intelligent" implanted stimulator.

Intracerebral activity analyzed by recording local field potentials (LFPs) from electrodes implanted for DBS in the past 15 years has helped in clarifying basal ganglia pathophysiology and its relation to PD symptoms. Many LFP studies have revealed unknown functions of basal ganglia in PD patients during the execution of motor, cognitive, and behavioral task showing the existence of a "code" in LFP oscillations corresponding to the of patient's clinical condition. LFP-clinical correlations should provide the rationale for developing and implementing new aDBS devices able to adapt stimulation parameters moment-by-moment to the individual patient's needs using LFPs as a control variable for feedback.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing aDBS and DBS in people with Advanced Parkinson's Disease, run by Fondazione IRCCS Ca' Granda, Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico at 1 site in Italy.

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 1 inclusion and 0 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 3 Jun 2014. 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 Italy. 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 Alberto Priori, Prof. (alberto.priori@unimi.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of improvement in unified parkindon's disease rating scale (UPDRS score) of aDSB compare to cDBS (time frame: up to1 year). 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 3 Jun 2014.
