About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) system for managing Parkinson's disease symptoms. Researchers will compare closed-loop stimulation (which automatically adjusts therapy using real-time brain signals and sleep monitoring) against traditional continuous stimulation (fixed settings) in a randomized, double-blind, crossover study. Participants will undergo surgical implantation of PINS Medical's G1010R neurostimulator, followed by alternating treatment phases where each patient experiences both aDBS and conventional open-loop stimulation modes. Outcomes will assess improvements in without troublesome dyskinesia daily time, motor symptoms (e.g., tremors, rigidity), quality of life, and sleep quality across both therapy periods.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Demonstrate responsiveness to conventional cDBS therapy per investigator evaluation,

Disqualifiers

Trial design

Design model

Crossover

Treatments tested in this trial

  • adaptive deep brain stimulation

    Device

    adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) is a stimulation mode that measuring local field potential (LFP) signal nearby the electrodes of lead in the deep brain and decoding the signal in real-time, automatically adjusts amplitude of stimulation controlled by algorithm embedded in DBS device. aDBS is able to recognize patient status and allocate proper stimulation parameters based on need to treat Parkinson symptoms.

  • conventional deep brain stimulation

    Device

    conventional deep brain stimulation is a common stimulation mode that has been used for years. It uses fixed stimulation parameters to treat Parkinson's disease and has been proved effective to motor symptoms.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Proportion of aDBS Subjects With "On" Time Without Troublesome Dyskinesia Exceeding the Threshold

In the Motor-Sleep Diary, in 30-minute intervals, patients recorded whether they were in the "On" condition (with dyskinesia, with non-troublesome dyskinesia, with troublesome dyskinesia), "Off" condition, or asleep. The "On" time without troublesome dyskinesia combined the categories of "On" time without dyskinesia and "On" time with non-troublesome dyskinesia. The Motor-Sleep Diary was collected at both the cDBS treatment and aDBS treatment during the crossover evaluation phases. The threshold was determined using the hours of "On" time without troublesome dyskinesia for aDBS is no worse than 2 hours per day less than cDBS. The proportion of aDBS subjects exceeding the threshold was the primary endpoint.

1

Motor-sleep dairy

In the Motor-sleep Diary, in 30-minute intervals, patients recorded whether they were in the "On" condition (with dyskinesia, with non-troublesome dyskinesia, with troublesome dyskinesia), "Off" condition, or asleep. The Motor-sleep Diary also collects a visual analogue scale that subjects use to evaluate overall quality of sleep last night. The "On" time without troublesome dyskinesia combined the categories of "On" time without dyskinesia and "On" time with non-troublesome dyskinesia. The Motor-sleep Diary was collected at the cDBS treatment and aDBS treatment during crossover evaluation phases. Motor-sleep Diary collects 5 measurements: 1. daily "On" time without troublesome dyskinesia 2. daily "On" time with troublesome dyskinesia 3. daily "Off" time 4. daily asleep time 5. quality of sleep The result of 2 type of treatments and baseline will be compared.

Time frame

2

MDS UPDRS

The Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS UPDRS) contains 4 parts. Each parts range as the following: 0\~52, 0\~52, 0\~132, 0\~24. Lower score means better rating on the according symptoms. Each measures different perspective of motor disorder. In this trial, 5 measurements will be collected: 1. MDS UPDRS part I 2. MDS UPDRS part II ("best" condition) 3. MDS UPDRS part II ("worst" condition) 4. MDS UPDRS part III 5. MDS UPDRS part IV Each measurements will be collected at cDBS treatment and aDBS treatment during crossover phases. The result of each treatment will be compared.

Time frame
about one month after randomization
3

PDSS-2

Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale 2(PDSS-2) measures the quality of sleep of Parkinson's Disease. The scale ranges from 0 to 60. Lower score means better rating on sleep conditions. Measurement will be collected at cDBS treatment and aDBS treatment during crossover phases. The result of each treatment will be compared.

Time frame
about one month after randomization
4

PSQI

Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI) measures the quality of sleep. The scale ranges from 0 to 21. Lower score means better rating on the quality of sleep. Measurement will be collected at cDBS treatment and aDBS treatment during crossover phases. The result of each treatment will be compared.

Time frame
about one month after randomization
