Summary

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) effectively alleviates motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, current programming is manual and time-consuming. This study will evaluate physiology-based programming using local field potentials (LFPs) to identify optimal stimulation parameters. Specifically, DBS contact selection based on beta power and a broad-band approach will be compared with conventional clinician-based programming.
