Understanding Motivation in Parkinson's Patients Through Neurophysiology (MPPN)

March 30, 2023 updated by: University of California, San Francisco
The study's aim is to better understand motivation and value-based decision making in Parkinson's patients through neurophysiology using Medtronic's Percept PC DBS device.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The investigators will ask patients to complete reward-based decision making tasks in clinic and at home in the presence and absence of Percept PC deep brain stimulation and medication. The Percept PC device has the ability to stream data during paradigms and chronically at home. Patients at home will also be fitted with a wearable device which records motion, sleep, heart rate variability, and self-reported metrics. The investigators will use spectral techniques and statistical analysis to identify the relationship between brain signals and motivation.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Stimulation
Patients will be getting standard clinically acceptable stimulation within already safety validated stimulation ranges through their Medtronic Percept PC device.
Stimulation from Percept PC DBS will be on while the patient is playing a decision-making game on a computer-based application.
Other Names:
  • Medtronic Percept PC
Patients will be playing a decision making task through a computer-based application.
Experimental: No Stimulation
Patients will have stimulation turned off through their Medtronic Percept PC device.
Patients will be playing a decision making task through a computer-based application.
Stimulation from Percept PC DBS will be off while the patient is playing a decision-making game on a computer-based application.
Other Names:
  • Medtronic Percept PC

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percent of Risky Decisions made with Percept PC DBS stimulation on for Parkinson's Disease Patients
Time Frame: The values will be collected starting from admission in clinic and the at-home paradigm. Data collection and analysis of said values can take up to three years
Patients' responses on the tablet will be recorded in-clinic and at home. The investigators will tally their choices from the value-based decision making game (risky versus safe decisions) and report an average of risky responses.
The values will be collected starting from admission in clinic and the at-home paradigm. Data collection and analysis of said values can take up to three years
