Safety and Efficacy of Adaptive DBS Vs Conventional DBS in Patients With Parkinson's Disease

"The investigational medical device (AlphaDBSvext) is a portable, external, dual mode stimulator that can deliver adaptive DBS or conventional DBS for the treatment of PD.~In the adaptive mode, the device records Local Field Potential activity from the implanted DBS electrode and simultaneously delivers stimulation through the same electrode based on the recorded signal."

"The same investigational medical device (AlphaDBSvext) is used to deliver conventional DBS for the treatment of PD. In the conventional mode it delivers constant stimulation."
