Estimated Enrollment: 103
Study Start Date: December 2008
Estimated Study Completion Date: December 2013
Groups/Cohorts
STN DBS Group
PD patients with deep brain stimulators in the subthalamic nucleus. Subjects within this group will be placed into either a 1 contact group, or 2 contact group, depending on contact location requirements for this study.
Control Group
PD patients without deep brain stimulator surgery, with similar symptoms to the study group.

Ages Eligible for Study:   40 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Sampling Method:   Non-Probability Sample
Study Population

PD patients with and without STN DBS
