Trial Outcomes & Findings for Follow Up Study for Treatment of Parkinson's Disease With Deep Brain Stimulation (NCT NCT01022073)

NCT ID: NCT01022073

Last Updated: 2016-06-10

Results Overview

The primary outcome measure for the comparison of GPi deep brain stimulation (DBS) to STN DBS is the motor function score of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS Part III) measured while the patient is off medications and on stimulation at follow-up visits post surgery. UPDRS Part III has 14 items assessing motor skills including facial expression and speech, tremors, rigidity, posture, gait, and bradykinesia. Left and right sides (arms, legs, and hands) are assessed separately for seven of the functions. A summary score ranging from 0 to 108 is generated by adding the 14 specific motor function responses. The motor function (UPDRS part III) assessments are done by turning on the stimulation with and without taking PD medications (on/off) at each in-person visit. The higher the value, the worse the outcome.

Participant Flow

The original study CSP #468 visits were completed in October 2008, and the kick-off meeting for the follow-up study was held on April 26-28, 2010. Out of the total randomized 299 participants in the main study of CSP#468, 156 participants enrolled in this follow-up study. Subject recruitment started in August 2010 and ended in September 2011.

This is follow-up study from the original study CSP#468.
