Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Movement Disorders Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part 3 (MDS-UPDRS III) off medication
Time Frame: Baseline, 3Months,6 Months, 9 Months 12 Months, 18 Months, 24 Months
This scale measures motor ability within Parkinson's patients. For part 3, the scales minimum values is 0 and max value is 132. Higher scores indicate more impaired motor ability, while lower scores indicate less impaired motor ability. A score of 0 indicates no motor impairment.
Secondary Outcomes
- Levodopa equivalent daily dose (LEDD) daily change from baseline to 24 months(24 months)
- Parkinson's disease quality of life questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39)(24 months)
- Movement disorders unified Parkinson's rating scale (MDS-UPDRS) part 2(24 months)
- Freezing of Gait Questionnaire (FOG) change(24 months)
- Movement disorders unified Parkinson's rating scale (MDS-UPDRS) part 1 change(24 months)
- Movement disorders unified Parkinson's rating scale (MDS-UPDRS) part 4 change(24 months)
- Communicative Participation Item Bank (CPIB; Short Form)(24 months)
- Voice Handicap Index (VHI-10)(24 months)
- Spontaneous Electroencephalography beta band power change(24 months)
- Parkinson's disease cognitive functional rating scale (PD-CFRS)(24 months)
- Device calibration(24 months)
