Deep Brain Stimulation of the Globus Pallidus in Huntington's Disease

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This is a single centre, controlled phase I study, which evaluates safety and efficacy of stimulation of lower caudal two contacts (GPI) vs. upper cranial two contacts (GPE) in Huntington´s disease (HD).

Clinical Trial Description

A total of 6 HD patients will be selected out of an existing larger HD patient cohort upon careful evaluation of the inclusion and exclusion criteria at month 0. Patients will be recruited if no significant cognitive deterioration is observed between month 0 and month 3. The preoperative clinical status will be evaluated twice including the United Huntington Disease Rating Scale (UHDRS), neuropsychological, neurophysiologic and neuroradiological assessments. At 4 weeks postoperatively an extensive evaluation of effects and side effects of every single contact of the bilateral quadripolar electrodes takes place.

All patients will receive a stereotactic placement of bilateral stereotactic insertion of two quadripolar electrodes into the Globus pallidus, two contacts reaching the GPE, two the GPI within both hemispheres. Surgery will be done under general anesthesia, The implantation of the stimulator (Kintera®) will take place in the same procedure. Postoperatively patients will be monitored at three and six months and regularly up to 60 months with a battery of clinical, neuropsychological, psychiatric, neurophysiological and neuroimaging tests.

We expect that this trial will provide a rational basis to conclude about the efficacy, safety, reproducibility and long-term effects of pallidal Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) on motor symptoms of HD. ;
