About this trial

By defining the strength and direction of connectivity patterns at rest and during movement across the basal ganglia-thalamocortical (BGTC) network we will characterize the role of individual circuits in motor performance and cognitive function, paving the way for future development of optimization algorithms for DBS that take advantage of this understanding.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Implanted with a DBS system

Existing 7T imagery (either done as standard-of-care or done as part of Noam Harel's study, IRB #1210M22183)

Diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's Disease

Minimum age 21 years

Disqualifiers

Other significant neurological disorder, as determined by PI

Diagnosis of dementia

Pregnant

Trial population

Potential participants are identified by clinicians and trained research personnel through the movement disorder clinic. Patients are identified during the University of Minnesota DBS surgery candidacy evaluation process.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Motor association with pathway activation patterns

associate pathway activation patterns with motor (UPDRS-III) outcome obtained during standard of care and research appointments.

Time frame
6 months post surgery
2

Cognitive outcome 1 association with pathway activation pattern

associate pathway activation patterns with cognitive outcome obtained during standard of care and research appointments. One primary cognitive outcome measure will be the D-KEFS Letter Fluency test. Another primary cognitive measure will be the Stroop Color Word total score. Secondary measures will include the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)-II and Apathy Scale total scores.

Time frame
6 months post surgery
3

Cognitive outcome 2 association with pathway activation pattern

associate pathway activation patterns with cognitive outcome obtained during standard of care and research appointments. cognitive measure will be the Stroop Color Word total score.

Time frame
6 months post surgery
4

Cognitive outcome 3 association with pathway activation pattern

associate pathway activation patterns with cognitive outcome obtained during standard of care and research appointments. cognitive measure will include the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)-II

Time frame
6 months post surgery
