Antidepressant Effect of Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is:

1. To determine, in the context of a prospective clinical trial, whether stimulation parameters in PD patients treated with DBS, are associated with antidepressant effects.

2. To determine whether these antidepressant effects are related to or independent of changes in the motor features of PD.

3. To establish a computerized database that includes stimulation parameters and clinical parameters in PD patients treated with DBS.

4. To develop a computer-assisted decision making protocol for programming of DBS parameters in both depressed and non-depressed PD patients.

Clinical Trial Description

Depressive symptoms of PD patients are major predictors of their prognosis and quality of life. Therefore, successful treatment of depression is crucial in PD patients. Using deep brain stimulation as an antidepressant (or to augment a standard antidepressant) could be a promising new direction. The hypothesis to be tested in the current project is that treatment with deep brain stimulation will improve both the neurological and the psychiatric (depressive) symptoms of PD. It is further hypothesized that the improvement in depressive symptoms will not be a simple consequence of improvement in neurological status. Data from this open label study will form the basis for planning a larger scale controlled trial in depressed PD patients and exploratory studies in patients with major depression who do not have PD.

Today, programming of DBS is based on the neurological evaluation of the motor features of PD. If our hypothesis is proven, i.e. parameter manipulation of DBS affects the mental features of PD, it is crucial to establish a valid database that will enable to study these effects. Moreover, such a detailed database will be the basis for the development of a computer-assisted decision making protocol for programming of DBS. A novel decision making protocol will maximize the benefits of DBS in both depressed and non-depressed PD patients. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
