Closed-Loop Programming Using External Responses for Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson ’s Disease

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established treatment for Parkinson ’s disease (PD). Clinicians face various challenges in adjusting stimulation parameters and configurations in clinical DBS settings owing to inexperience, time constraints, and recent advances in DBS technology that have expanded the number of possible contact configurations. We aimed to assess th e efficacy of the closed-loop algorithm (CLA) for the DBS-programming method using external motion sensor-based motor assessments in patients with PD.
