Study Details
Testing the Abbott Deep Brain Stimulation Outcomes Over Time
(IRB#: IRB_00128661)
This study is testing an approved device called the Abbott Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) system. The device is an implant that helps treat a persons movement disorder. The study is testing to see the long-term safety and effectiveness of the device. The participant's doctor will need to recommend the treatment. People in the study will attend in-person visits that are part of the standard of care with the Neurologist. Participants will complete surveys to collect information about the safety and effectiveness of the treatment over time. Being in the study lasts 5 years.
