No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate brain signals related to freezing of gait (FoG), a symptom of Parkinson's Disease, that can lead to dangerous falls. The investigators hypothesize that uncovering these signals can lead to better deep brain stimulation interventions.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Deep brain stimulation

The programming of DBS settings in all participants with bilateral DBS implants in the globus pallidus internus (GPi) and pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) will be performed.

OTHER

Electroencephalography

An electroencephalography (EEG) will be performed on all participants to better understand the neurophysiological underpinnings of the symptom.
