About This Parkinson Disease (PD) Study in Minneapolis

This project aims to establish the feasibility of Bayesian optimization for tuning deep brain stimulation (DBS) to treat gait symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Our primary question is: Can Bayesian optimization of DBS achieve reproducible results within a feasible number of gait measurements? PD patients will be enrolled who have DBS of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) or globus pallidus (GP) in whom at least 3 months have passed since activation of their neurostimulators, for stabilization of clinical stimulator settings. We will apply Bayesian optimization to derive DBS settings which maximally lengthen step length relative to the OFF DBS state.

Sponsor: University of Minnesota
