About this trial

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical implant procedure for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease (PD) utilizing medical devices approved by the FDA. A novel approach to current DBS approaches is called "Coordinated Reset" DBS (CR-DBS) which uses different patterns of stimulation at lower currents and can address the limitations of traditional DBS (T-DBS) that uses continuous high amplitude and high frequency stimulation. This study will evaluate the safety and short-term efficacy of CR-DBS in PD. The results from this study will significantly advance the development of CR-DBS for the treatment of PD. Findings in this study will also provide the rationale for further development of this novel DBS approach for other neurological and psychiatric disorders.
