Awards & highlights

No Placebo-Only Group

Summary

This trial will help researchers learn more about how Parkinson's patients make decisions, in hopes of improving treatments for the disease.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for Parkinson's patients who already have a Medtronic Percept PC DBS device implanted. It's not suitable for those with severe cognitive impairments.

What is being tested?

The study examines how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects motivation and decision-making in Parkinson's patients, using tasks with the stimulation turned on and off.

What are the potential side effects?

While this study isn't testing a drug, side effects may include discomfort or changes in mood or behavior due to varying levels of brain stimulation during the tasks.

2Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Group I: StimulationExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

Patients will be getting standard clinically acceptable stimulation within already safety validated stimulation ranges through their Medtronic Percept PC device.

Group II: No StimulationExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

Patients will have stimulation turned off through their Medtronic Percept PC device.
