All
Phase N/A

Overview

To compare the clinical outcome of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) treated with directional deep brain (dDBS) stimulation undergoing subthalamic deep brain stimulation operation (STN-DBS) under general anesthesia versus local anesthesia.

Description

To compare the clinical outcome of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) treated with directional deep brain (dDBS) stimulation undergoing subthalamic deep brain stimulation operation (STN-DBS) under general anesthesia versus local anesthesia.

In awake group, 10 patients with Parkinson's disease were treated with St Jude Medical/Abbott Infinity DBS system, and the electrode implantation and testing were performed while the patients were awake. In asleep group, 14 patients with Parkinson's disease were treated with St Jude Medical/Abbott Infinity DBS system, and the electrode implantation were performed while the patients were under general anesthesia. The clinical outcome of the DBS treatment, possible adverse effects and the electrode placement will be compared within these two groups.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?
