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

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.
