Trial Outcomes & Findings for Wearable Sensor for Responsive DBS for ET (NCT NCT03051178)

NCT ID: NCT03051178

Last Updated: 2024-04-19

Results Overview

Responsive deep brain stimulation as an effective alternative to continuous deep brain stimulation. Clinical Tremor Rating Scale (TRS), rated by a blinded neurologist, during responsive brain stimulation will be compared to scores during continuous deep brain stimulation and no stimulation. The minimum and maximum score range for this scale is 0-80, with higher score indicating worse outcome.

Participant Flow

17 patients were enrolled into the single arm study. 5 patients withdrew from the study. We are comparing their clinical Tremor Rating Scores (TRS) for three conditions: deep brain stimulation (DBS) OFF, standard (continuous) DBS, and responsive DBS (the trial condition).

Measure
Subjects With Essential Tremor
This cohort will receive deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy responsively based on the level of their symptoms as detected by wearable EMG and inertia (acceleration) sensors. Responsive deep brain stimulation: Responsive deep brain stimulation (R-DBS) therapy will be delivered responsively based on the level of their symptoms as detected by wearable EMG and inertia (acceleration) sensors.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 30 minutes during one monthly visit after clinical continuous deep brain stimulation is optimized.

Population: We statistically compared the Tremor Rating Scale (TRS) scores for responsive deep brain stimulation (R-DBS) to standard continuous DBS (cDBS) and to NO DBS.

Responsive deep brain stimulation as an effective alternative to continuous deep brain stimulation. Clinical Tremor Rating Scale (TRS), rated by a blinded neurologist, during responsive brain stimulation will be compared to scores during continuous deep brain stimulation and no stimulation. The minimum and maximum score range for this scale is 0-80, with higher score indicating worse outcome.
