Evaluation of a Decision Aid for Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery for Parkinson's Disease

Feasibility, Acceptability, and Effectiveness of an Online Decision Aid for Patients With Parkinson's Disease Considering Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery Using a Pragmatic, Randomized Pilot Trial

Sponsor

University of Colorado, Denver

Enrollment

42 participants

Start Date

Jun 1, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Parkinson Disease

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a Decision Aid can help patients with Parkinson's disease make a decision about undergoing Deep Brain Stimulation surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the Decision Aid acceptable to patients with Parkinson's disease considering Deep Brain Stimulation surgery? * Does the decision aid improve decision quality (informed, value-based decision) and uncertainty about the decision? Researchers will compare immediate use of the decision aid during the evaluation process for deep brain stimulation surgery to delayed introduction of the decision aid. Participants will: * Receive the decision aid at the beginning of the evaluation process or towards the end * Complete surveys at 5 visits (remote or in-person) over approximately 6 months

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study evaluates a decision aid — an educational tool designed to help patients weigh their options — for people with Parkinson's disease who are being considered for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery, a procedure that uses implanted electrodes to reduce tremors and other motor symptoms. **You may be eligible if...** - You are an adult with a confirmed diagnosis of Parkinson's disease - You have been referred for a DBS surgery evaluation at the University of Colorado **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with atypical Parkinsonism (a related but different condition) - You have a diagnosis of dementia 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.
