Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Motor Function12 weeks post device-activation

Mean change in Movement Disorder Society-Sponsored Revision of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating (MDS-UPDRS) Part III scores from Baseline in meds off condition to 12 weeks post device-activation in stim on/meds off condition. Range 0 - 108. Higher scores indicate worse function.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Motor Function52 weeks post device-activation

Mean change in Movement Disorder Society-Sponsored Revision of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating (MDS-UPDRS) Part III scores from Baseline (meds off) to 52 weeks post device-activation (stim on/meds off). Range 0 - 108. Higher scores indicate worse function.

Change in Quality of Life52 weeks post device-activation

Mean change in Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) summary scores from Baseline (meds on) to 52 weeks post device-activation (stim on/meds on). Scores range from 0 to 100, with 0 representing perfect health and 100 representing worst health.
