Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Mean change in MDS-UPDRS III scores from Baseline in meds off condition to 12<br /><br>weeks post device-activation in stim on/meds off condition.*<br /><br><br /><br>*Note: during baseline visit and follow up visits, UPDRS-II and UPDRS-III<br /><br>assessments will be performed in meds ON and meds OFF condition. The study<br /><br>subjects will be asked to discontinue anti-Parkinson medication 12 hours before<br /><br>each visit (or 24 hours before each visit for long acting anti-Parkinson<br /><br>medication). When the meds OFF assessments are performed, the subject will be<br /><br>asked to start the anti-Parkinson medication again, after which the meds ON<br /><br>assessments will take place.</p><br>
