About this trial

Expression of hypokinetic and hyperkinetic motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with pathological synchronous oscillations of neuronal activity (local field potential/LFP) in the cortico-subcortical network with a wide frequency range. In the present project, we propose to study cortico-subcortical oscillations and their synchronization in patients operated for PD (subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS)) during distinct pharmacological and stimulation conditions (hypokinetic and hyperkinetic), using a simple motor task.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Electrophysiological recordings

    Other intervention

    Electrophysiological recordings will be made during a motor task in four different conditions: 1. without pharmacological treatment and without stimulation (Off condition), 2. without pharmacological treatment and during stimulation (DBS condition), 3. during pharmacological treatment and without stimulation (DOPA condition), 4. during pharmacological treatment and stimulation (DOPA+DBS condition).
