Sponsor

Washington University School of Medicine

Enrollment

1,000 participants

Start Date

Jan 3, 2011

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The object of this study is to longitudinally collect clinical outcomes of patients receiving deep brain stimulation for movement disorders with the objective of making retrospective comparisons and tracking of risks, benefits, and complications.


Eligibility

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tracks long-term outcomes for patients who receive deep brain stimulation (DBS) — a surgical treatment where a small device is implanted in the brain to regulate abnormal electrical signals — for Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, or dystonia. **You may be eligible if...** - You have Parkinson's disease that responds to levodopa medication, OR - You have essential tremor that no longer responds well to medication, OR - You have dystonia (involuntary muscle contractions) that no longer responds well to medication **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have dementia (a score below 130 on the Mattis Dementia Rating Scale) - You have structural brain abnormalities that make brain surgery unsafe Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
