DBS-Expert: Automated Deep Brain Stimulation Programming Using Functional Mapping - Phase I

The clinical utility of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for the treatment of movement disorders
such as Parkinson's disease has been well established; however, there is a great disparity
in outcomes among DBS recipients due to varied postoperative management, particularly
concerning the choosing of an optimal set of programming parameters from the thousands of
possible combinations. This study will evaluate the use of motion sensor based assessments
to develop a functional map and algorithms to automatically determine a set of programming
parameters that maximize symptomatic benefits while minimizing side effects and battery
consumption.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Clinical diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson's disease

- Implanted deep brain stimulation system awaiting initial programming session

Exclusion Criteria:

- Subjects with significant psychiatric illness or dementia

- Significant cognitive impairment
