Recently, deep brain stimulation has been successfully applied in patients with primary generalized and segmental dystonia. Additionally, a number of case reports suggest that pallidal deep brain stimulation may also improve tardive dystonia, which may for instance result from the intake of neuroleptics and which is notoriously difficult to treat medically. The present study will investigate the effects of pallidal DBS using a double blind, randomized design (sham- versus verum-stimulation within a 3-months interval post implantation of the electrodes).\n\nInitially 60 patients had been calculated in a power analysis to assess significant results based on an average improvement of dystonic symptoms of 30%. However, in a recent study (Damier et al., Archives of General Psychiatry, 2007), 10 out of 10 showed a successful outcome of approximately 50% decrease on the extrapyramidal symptoms rating scale score. The exact one- sided lower 95% confidence limit would be 0.794 for this result. If such an approach is chosen for sample size estimation with 18 verum and 18 placebo patients one would obtain a power of 82% against a placebo effect of 30% success rate. For a placebo effect of 25% one needs 16+16 patients and for the placebo effect of 20% one needs 12+12 patients. We thus decided to reduce the sample size to 36- 32- 24 patients. It is expected that the continuous primary outcome measure will preserve even higher power than the binary one used in the study mentioned above. The local ethical committee has approved this.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '75 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Operational criteria for tardive dystonia for \\> 18 months after cessation of neuroleptic exposure\n* 18-75 years\n* Relevant functional impairment in daily living activities\n* BFMDRS \\> 8 or AIMS \\> 16\n* Informed written consent\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* PANNS \\>60 (Schizophrenia)\n* Hamilton-Score \\> 18 (Depression)\n* MATTIS-Score \\<120 (Dementia)\n* Preceding stereotactic neurosurgery\n* Pronounced brain atrophy\n* Increased bleeding risk\n* Decreased immune status\n* Botulinum Toxin treatment within the last 3 months'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00331669', 'briefTitle': 'Efficacy and Safety of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of the Pallidal (GPi) in Patients With Tardive Dystonia', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Charite University, Berlin, Germany'}, 'officialTitle': 'Multicenter, Randomized Trial on the Effects of Pallidal Deep Brain Stimulation for Tardive Dystonia', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'DBS and tardive dystonia'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'PLACEBO_COMPARATOR', 'label': '1', 'description': 'device', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: deep brain stimulation']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'deep brain stimulation', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'description': 'high frequency stimulation', 'armGroupLabels': ['1']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '13353', 'city': 'Berlin', 'status': 'RECRUITING', 'country': 'Germany', 'contacts': [{'name': 'Andreas R Kupsch, MD, PhD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'andreas.kupsch@charite.de', 'phone': 'xx49-30-450-50', 'phoneExt': '660103'}, {'name': 'Andrea Kuehn, MD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'andrea.kuehn@charite.de', 'phone': 'xx49-30-450-50', 'phoneExt': '660203'}, {'name': 'Andreas R Kupsch, MD, PhD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR'}], 'facility': 'Andreas Kupsch', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 52.52437, 'lon': 13.41053}}], 'centralContacts': [{'name': 'Andreas R Kupsch, MD, PhD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'andreas.kupsch@charite.de', 'phone': 'xx49-30-450-50', 'phoneExt': '660103'}, {'name': 'Andrea Kuehn, MD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'andrea.kuehn@charite.de', 'phone': 'xx49-30-450-50', 'phoneExt': '660203'}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Andreas R Kupsch, MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Dpt. of Neurology, Augustenburger Platz 1, 13353 Berlin, Charite, Campus Virchow, Germany'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Charite University, Berlin, Germany', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'collaborators': [{'name': 'Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin', 'class': 'OTHER'}, {'name': 'Ruhr University of Bochum', 'class': 'OTHER'}, {'name': 'Medical University of Cologne', 'class': 'OTHER'}, {'name': 'Heinrich-Heine University, Duesseldorf', 'class': 'OTHER'}, {'name': 'University Hospital Freiburg', 'class': 'OTHER'}, {'name': 'Medical University of Hannover', 'class': 'OTHER'}, {'name': 'Medical University Innsbruck', 'class': 'OTHER'}, {'name': 'University of Kiel', 'class': 'OTHER'}, {'name': 'Philipps University Marburg', 'class': 'OTHER'}, {'name': 'Ludwig-Maximilians - University of Munich', 'class': 'OTHER'}, {'name': 'University of Rostock', 'class': 'OTHER'}, {'name': 'University of Regensburg', 'class': 'OTHER'}, {'name': 'University Hospital Tuebingen', 'class': 'OTHER'}, {'name': 'Medical University of Vienna', 'class': 'OTHER'}, {'name': 'Medtronic', 'class': 'INDUSTRY'}]}}}
