About this trial
The primary objective of this prospective, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, crossover clinical trial is to evaluate whether Subthalamic Nucleus-Deep Brain Stimulation (STN-DBS) is more effective than Globus Pallidus Internus-Deep Brain Stimulation (GPi-DBS) in improving motor symptoms of patients with Parkinson's disease at 90 days post-treatment.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age at the time of enrollment: 22-75 years.
Diagnosis of bilateral idiopathic PD with the presence of at least 2 of the following: resting tremor, rigidity, or bradykinesia

Severity of PD in the meds off condition: Hoehn-Yahr stages 2.5~ 4.0.
Disqualifiers
Any intracranial abnormalities or medical conditions that Lead to the prohibition of DBS surgery.
Have any significant psychiatric condition likely to compromise the subject's ability to comply with requirements of the study protocol (e.g. bipolar, schizophrenia, mood disorder with psychotic features, cluster B personality disorders).

Treatments tested in this trial
STN-DBS stimulation
DeviceThe devices for this study are provided by Boston Scientific International Medical Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.The system consists of two components: electrodes and an implanted stimulator.Participants will be implanted with an 8-contact directional electrode (Model: DB-2202-45).The stimulator is a rechargeable model (Model: DB-1232). Participants will receive the STN target stimulation protocol for a 3-month treatment period.
GPi-DBS stimulation
DeviceThe devices for this study are provided by Boston Scientific International Medical Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.The system consists of two components: electrodes and an implanted stimulator.Participants will be implanted with an 8-contact directional electrode (Model: DB-2202-45).The stimulator is a rechargeable model (Model: DB-1232). Participants will receive the GPi target stimulation protocol for a 3-month treatment period.
STN&GPi-DBS stimulation
DeviceThe devices for this study are provided by Boston Scientific International Medical Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.The system consists of two components: electrodes and an implanted stimulator.Participants will be implanted with an 8-contact directional electrode (Model: DB-2202-45).The stimulator is a rechargeable model (Model: DB-1232). After participants receive 3 months of STN target monotherapy and 3 months of GPi target monotherapy sequentially, they will be administered the combined STN + GPi target stimulation protocol. Prior to the initiation of simultaneous STN + GPi stimulation, participants are required to turn off the stimulator for 4 hours to eliminate the residual effects of the previous target stimulation.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part III (UPDRS III) score
The differences in UPDRS III scores obtained under the stimulation state at 90 days (±7 days) after surgery, compared with the preoperative scores, in patients with Parkinson's disease who received Subthalamic Nucleus-Deep Brain Stimulation (STN-DBS) or Globus Pallidus Internus-Deep Brain Stimulation (GPi-DBS) treatment. Doctors conducted double-blind evaluations based on this scoring scale. The Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part III (UPDRS III) has a scoring range of 0 to 108 points, with higher scores indicating more severe motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Secondary outcomes
Freezing of Gait Questionnaire (FOG-Q) score
Description: The differences in FOG-Q scores obtained under the stimulation state at 90 days (±7 days) after surgery, compared with the preoperative scores, in patients with Parkinson's disease who received Subthalamic Nucleus-Deep Brain Stimulation (STN-DBS) or Globus Pallidus Internus-Deep Brain Stimulation (GPi-DBS) treatment. Doctors conducted evaluations based on this scoring scale. The Freezing of Gait Questionnaire (FOG-Q) has a scoring range of 0 to 24 points, with higher scores indicating more severe freezing of gait symptoms.
Berg Balance Scale (BBS) score
Description: The differences in BBS scores obtained under the stimulation state at 90 days (±7 days) after surgery, compared with the preoperative scores, in patients with Parkinson's disease who received STN-DBS or GPi-DBS treatment. Doctors conducted evaluations based on this scoring scale. The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) has a scoring range of 0 to 56 points, with higher scores indicating better balance function.
Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale (UDysRS) score
The differences in UDysRS scores obtained under the stimulation state at 90 days (±7 days) after surgery, compared with the preoperative scores, in patients with Parkinson's disease who received STN-DBS or GPi-DBS treatment. Doctors conducted evaluations based on this scoring scale. The Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale (UDysRS) has a scoring range of 0 to 104 points, with higher scores indicating more severe dyskinesia symptoms.
Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score
The differences in MMSE scores obtained under the stimulation state at 90 days (±7 days) after surgery, compared with the preoperative scores, in patients with Parkinson's disease who received STN-DBS or GPi-DBS treatment. Doctors conducted evaluations based on this scoring scale. The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) has a scoring range of 0 to 30 points, with higher scores indicating better cognitive function.
