Study Overview

Brief Summary

The PD-HemON study aims to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of ARC-IM Therapy (Epidural Electrical Stimulation) to support hemodynamic management in people with typical and atypical Parkinson's Disease, who suffer from orthostatic hypotension.

Arms & Interventions

All participants

Experimental

All participants will be provided with the ARC-IM Investigational System (implantable and non-implan

Intervention: ARC-IM Investigational System (Device)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Occurrence of (serious) adverse device effects of the ARC-IM Therapy from baseline up to the end of the study.

Time Frame: Throughout the study (up to 5 years)

Evaluate the safety of ARC-IM Therapy in supporting hemodynamic management in participants with atypical or typical Parkinson's Disease and orthostatic hypotension

Secondary Outcomes

  • Severity of symptoms measured by The Orthostatic Hypotension Questionnaire.(At the end of, 6 months after and 1 year after configuration of the therapy)
  • Time Up and Go Test (TUG)(At the end of, 6 months after and 1 year after configuration of the therapy)
  • 2 Minute Walk Test(At the end of, 6 months after and 1 year after configuration of the therapy)
  • Berg Balance Test(At the end of, 6 months after and 1 year after configuration of the therapy)
  • Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with technology (QUEST 2.0)(At 6 months and 1 year after configuration of the therapy)
  • System Usability Scale (SUS)(At 6 months and 1 year after configuration of the therapy)
  • Additional user feedback of ARC-IM System(At 6 months and 1 year after configuration of the therapy)
