Cuneiform Nucleus (CnF) Deep Brain Stimulation for Gait Facilitation Following Spinal Cord Injury
This is a study about deep brain stimulation (DBS) as an investigational treatment for walking impairment following spinal cord injury (SCI). The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and inform on the safety, and efficacy of CnF DBS to improve gait in SCI patients with incomplete injury …
Dystonia Image-based Programming of Stimulation: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-blind Crossover Trial
The primary objective of this exploratory study is to prospectively evaluate the feasibility of image-guided programming of pallidal deep brain stimulation (DBS) for dystonia. The dystonias are a heterogeneous group of movement disorders that share the core clinical feature of abnormal involuntary muscle contractions in common. Pallidal DBS is an …
Deep Brain Stimulation in Patients With Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury for Improvement of Gait
Spinal cord injuries are anatomically mostly incomplete, showing tissue bridges of the spinal cord at the injury site. Of the 60% functionally incomplete patients, about half face a life in the wheelchair. Besides conventional rehabilitation, no prominsing further treatment options exist. One of the most plastic systems involved in locomotion …
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Depression Using Directional Current Steering and Individualized Network Targeting
The goal of the study is to address the unmet need of TRD patients by identifying brain networks critical for treating depression and to use next generation precision DBS with steering capability to engage these targeted networks. The study's goal will be achieved through 3 specific aims: Demonstrate device capability …
Combined STN and NBM Deep Brain Stimulation for Mild Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson's Disease
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a novel deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the Subthalamic Nucleus (STN) and Nucleus Basalis of Meynert (NBM) to treat cognitive and cognitive-motor symptoms in individuals with Parkinson's disease. The main question it aims to answer is: …
Identifying Local Field Potential Biomarkers for Obsessive-compulsive Disorder Treatment With Deep Brain Stimulation
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a complex and severe mental illness characterized by multiple symptoms and is considered a leading cause of non-fatal health loss. However, nearly 20% of patients do not respond to standard pharmacological or psychological treatments. Currently, we lack objective brain-based biomarkers. To address this issue, we used …
Identifying Local Field Potential Biomarkers for Treatment-Resistant Major Depression With Deep Brain Stimulation
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a complex and severe mental illness, characterized by multiple symptoms, and is a leading cause of non-fatal health loss. Despite this, approximately 30% of patients do not respond to standard pharmacological or psychological treatments. Currently, we lack objective brain-based biomarkers to differentiate between natural mood …
Cerebellar Deep Brain Stimulation for Movement Disorders in Cerebral Palsy in Children and Young Adults
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of placing Deep Brain Stimulators (DBS) in a part of the brain called the cerebellum and using electrical stimulation of that part of the brain to treat movement symptoms related to cerebral palsy. Ten children and young adults with dyskinetic …
Allogenic Adipose-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells(AMSCs) for Epilepsy During Deep Brain Stimulation(DBS) Surgery
This study is a non-randomized, open label, phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate the fesibility and safety of intrathalamic delivery of MSCs during standard of care DBS surgery for epilepsy. Subjects will be screened at our outpatient clinic and interested qualified subjects will be consented and offered participation in this …
Constant Current Versus Constant Voltage Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation in Patients with Parkinson's Disease
To compare the efficacy, programming burden, power consumption, and physicians' and patients' satisfaction between current mode and voltage mode of deep brain stimulation in each period one year after surgery.
