Subthalamic Nucleus Stimulation Effect on Gait Symmetry and Freezing of Gait (STIMSYM)

September 20, 2016 updated by: University Hospital, Grenoble
Impact of unilateral modulation of deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus on freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease

Study Overview

Status

Conditions

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

Unilateral modulation of subthalamic stimulation and its impact on freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease will be studied.

In a cross-over, doubleblind, randomized study, a 30% reduction of stimulation intensity of the less impacted side will be compared with chronic treatment with regard to frequency and duration of freezing of gait episodes.
