Subthalamic Nucleus Stimulation Effect on Gait Symmetry and Freezing of Gait

Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Parkinson Disease
Interventions
Procedure: Chronic Subthalamic nucleus stimulation
Procedure: Unilateral reduction of stimulation
Registration Number
NCT02704195
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Grenoble
Brief Summary

Impact of unilateral modulation of deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus on freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease

Detailed Description

Unilateral modulation of subthalamic stimulation and its impact on freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease will be studied.

In a cross-over, doubleblind, randomized study, a 30% reduction of stimulation intensity of the less impacted side will be compared with chronic treatment with regard to frequency and duration of freezing of gait episodes.
