A Multicenter Pediatric Deep Brain Stimulation Registry

Multicenter Pediatric Deep Brain Stimulation Registry


Sponsor

Boston Children's Hospital

Enrollment

100 participants

Start Date

Jul 30, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

There is limited data on outcomes for children who have undergone deep brain stimulation (DBS) for movement disorders, and individual centers performing this surgery often lack sufficient cases to power research studies adequately. This study aims to develop a multicenter pediatric DBS registry that allows multiple sites to share clinical pediatric DBS data. The primary goals are to enable large-scale, well-powered analyses of the safety and efficacy of DBS in the pediatric population and to further explore and refine DBS as a therapeutic option for children with dystonia and other hyperkinetic movement disorders. Given the current scarcity of evidence available to clinicians, this centralized multicenter repository of clinical data is critical for addressing key research questions and improving clinical practice for pediatric DBS.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This registry is collecting long-term data on children who receive deep brain stimulation (DBS) — a surgical procedure that implants a small device in the brain to deliver electrical signals that help control abnormal movements — for neurological movement disorders. **You may be eligible if...** - The patient is between 0 and 18 years old - They have received or are scheduled to receive deep brain stimulation for any neurological movement disorder (such as dystonia or Tourette syndrome) - Parents or legal guardians can provide written consent for prospective data collection **You may NOT be eligible if...** - The patient is older than 18 years - Parents or guardians are unable or unwilling to provide written consent - The patient has not received and is not scheduled to receive DBS Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
