简要总结
Our hypothesis is that cycling DBS stimulation would be superior or non-inferior to regular DBS stimulation in Parkinson's disease patients with gait impairment. The objective of this study is compare gait disorders in patients with Parkinson's disease and DBS in 4 different scenarios: 1) regular continuous high frequency (>130Hz) stimulation, 2) cycling high frequency (>130Hz) stimulation (40sec on, 2sec off), 3) low-frequency (80Hz) continuous stimulation and 4) cycling low frequency (80Hz) stimulation (40sec on, 2sec off)
详细描述
Gait disorders such as falls, freezing of gait, reduction of speed, shuffling, and multi-stepped turning are common in patients with moderate and advanced Parkinson's disease. Compared to appendicular symptoms (bradykinesia, tremor, and rigidity), gait disorders tend to be more resistant to medical and regular deep brain stimulation treatment, and greatly impairs patients' quality of life and daily living activities. Some stimulation strategies have been tried to improve gait in Parkinson's disease patients, but so far most of them resulted in concomitant worsening of appendicular symptoms. However, new stimulation strategies such as cycling stimulation can potentially improve gait disorders without impairment of appendicular symptoms.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in the New Freezing of Gait Questionnaire
时间窗: Baseline + after 2 weeks + after 4 weeks + after 6 weeks
The New Freezing of Gait Questionnaire (NFOG-Q) is a self-reportable questionnaire consisting of 9 items that measure freezing of gait (FOG). Scores vary from 0 - 28. Higher scores mean a worse outcome.
Change in the part II of the Unified Parkinson's disease rating scale
时间窗: Baseline + after 2 weeks + after 4 weeks + after 6 weeks
The part II of the Unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (UPDRS II) is a self-reportable questionnaire consisting of 13 items that measure functionality (motor experiences of daily living). Scores vary from 0 - 52. Higher scores mean a worse outcome.
次要结局
- Number of falls(Baseline + after 2 weeks + after 4 weeks + after 6 weeks)
- Change in The Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39)(Baseline + after 2 weeks + after 4 weeks + after 6 weeks)
- Change in Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC scale)(Baseline + after 2 weeks + after 4 weeks + after 6 weeks)
- Change in Falls Efficacy Scale(Baseline + after 2 weeks + after 4 weeks + after 6 weeks)
