Deep Brain Stimulation for Spinocerebellar Ataxia
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the safety of placing Deep Brain Stimulators (DBS) in the cerebellum and using electrical stimulation of that part of the brain to treat symptoms related to the participants spinocerebellar ataxia. Five adults diagnosed with spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6) with inadequate …
Cerebellar Deep Brain Stimulation for the Treatment of Ataxia
Abnormal gait is often associated with immobility and falls, which in turn lead to loss of functional independence and death. While gait disorders may arise from many different etiologies, dysfunction of the cerebellum (a part of the brain with the function of coordination of movement) leading to gait disorders results …
Efficacy of Pain Intervention With Deep Brain Stimulation Neuromodulation
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if deep brain stimulation (DBS) works to treat severe pain following a stroke in adults. It will also learn about the safety of deep brain stimulation. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does DBS lower the pain score in …
Deep Brain Stimulation for Idiopathic Craniofacial Dystonia: GPi or STN
MEIGES is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial with the primary hypothesis that, STN-DBS is non-inferior to GPi-DBS for motor symptoms improvements at 365 days postoperatively in patients with idiopathic craniofacial dystonia.
Deep Brain Stimulation Effects In Patients With Opioid Use Disorder
This is a pilot study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the nucleus accumbens (NAc) as adjunctive treatment for treatment-refractory opioid use disorder. This study will include 3 individuals with opioid use disorder and relapsing opioid use despite active participation in a drug addiction …
Closed-Loop Deep Brain Stimulation for Treatment-Resistant Bipolar Depression
Neurons are specialized types of cells that are responsible for carrying out the functions of the brain. Neurons communicate with electrical signals. In diseases such as major depression this electrical communication can go awry. One way to change brain function is using electrical stimulation to help alter the communication between …
Testing of an Interface for Synchronizing tACS-DBS With a Phase-locked-loop
The investigators aim to test an interface to phase-lock transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) and deep brain stimulation (DBS) for future studies investigating the effects of different time-lags between DBS and tACS on the behavioural and neural level. To test if the interface works in patients with DBS, the investigators …
Efficacy and Safety of Combo-stim Deep Brain Stimulation for Treatment-refractory Mental Disorders
This is a multi-center, single arm, prospective, open-label, extendable study for the efficacy and safety of combo-stim deep brain stimulation for treatment-refractory mental disorders (obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, bipolar with depression, anorexia nervosa, gambling disorder and adult autism).
EEG Measurements to Capture DBS-induced Electric Potentials
To measure the electric fields induced by DBS (deep brain stimulation) on the scalp and to improve electric field simulations, the investigators will measure EEG (electroencephalography) measurements with high sampling rates (\>100 kHz). The investigators hypothesize that we can improve electric field simulations of DBS by validating and calibrating the …
Imaging Biomarkers of FOG Response to DBS
For this study, the investigators are recruiting 54 individuals with Parkinson's Disease and Freezing of Gait (FOG) who are planning to undergo Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). The objective of this study is to better understand the FOG response to DBS. Prior to DBS, participants will undergo an MRI scan, behavioral …
