Safety and Feasibility of Using Low Frequency Deep Brain Stimulation of the Subthalamic Nucleus to Improve Cognitive Performance in Patients With Parkinson's Disease

Prospective trial of low frequency deep brain stimulation of the ventral subthalamic nucleus
to improve cognitive performance in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease. All study
participants have undergone DBS implantation surgery as part of their routine care for motor
manifestations of Parkinson's disease. In this study, a temporary low frequency period of
stimulation will be applied to determine its effects on cognition.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Parkinson's disease, undergoing deep brain stimulation implantation as part of their
routine management of motor symptoms.
