Adaptive DBS for PD

Adaptive vs Conventional Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease: A Multi-center Randomized Controlled Trial

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 22 Jun 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

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.

  • Pre-existing active non-DBS medical implants or metallic cranial implants
  • Requirement for diathermy, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), or electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) during the study period
  • Inability to maintain prescribed medication regimens or comply with protocol requirements
  • Participation in other interventional clinical trials within 4 weeks prior to consent

Other illness

  • History of ablative neurosurgery or stem cell therapy for Parkinson's disease
  • Other conditions deemed by investigators to compromise study suitability

Other

  • Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) score \> 25
