Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to record electrical brain activity during DBS surgery and after DBS surgery using the Medtronic Activa PC+S deep brain stimulation (DBS) system, a modified DBS pulse generator. The goal of the study is to investigate if the electrical brain activity can help customize DBS therapy.
Detailed Description:
The Activa PC+S system will be implanted and programmed under the same clinical procedures and standard of care as the Activa PC system. After implantation and standard clinical programming, participants in our research study will be asked to return for additional research visits where the recording sub-circuit of the device will be activated and local field potentials (LFP) will be recorded in the device and transmitted through telemetry to a base station for storage and future analysis. The sensing, or recording, sub-circuit will be disabled, non-invasively, at the end of each research visit to minimize impact to battery life of the device.
