Long-term Brain Stimulation of the Motor Ventral Thalamus (VOP/VIM) to Improve Motor Function
Chronic Stimulation of the Motor Ventral Thalamus (VOP/VIM) for Motor Control in Humans
Jorge Gonzalez-Martinez
60 participants
May 10, 2022
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This study aims to recruit patients already implanted with Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for movement disorders to complete tasks assessing parameters of motor output, speech, and swallowing functions, both with and without stimulation. DBS parameters would be adjusted prior to motor testing. Patients would then participate in multiple sessions performing contralateral upper extremity movement tasks measuring movement speed, grip strength, and strength modulation, facial movement, swallowing, and speech tasks.
