Full study name & original research details

Official study title

Assessing the Relation Between Subcortical LFPs and DBS Parameter Selection in Parkinson's Disease - a Prospective Study

Short title used by the registry

LFP-based Parameter Prediction in DBS for Parkinson's Disease

Original description

The goal of this observational study is to assess whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) contact selection in Parkinson's disease could be informed by subcortical local field potential (LFP) recordings. The main question it aims to answer is: Aligns stimulation contact selection based on subcortical LFP recordings with clinically optimized contact selection? Participants will undergo LFP recordings that are part of standard clinical care during their routine hospital visits.

Conditions reported: Parkinson's Disease (PD)
