Constant Current Versus Constant Voltage Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation in Patients with Parkinson's Disease
Prospective Study of Constant Current Versus Constant Voltage Deep Brain Stimulation in Patients with Parkinson's Disease
About This Trial
To compare the efficacy, programming burden, power consumption, and physicians' and patients' satisfaction between current mode and voltage mode of deep brain stimulation in each period one year after surgery.

Treatments Being Tested
Constant current (CC) subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation
For subjects who have decided to undergo STN-DBS surgery and meet the inclusion criteria, the constant current (CC) mode is selected as the original electronic modality one week after surgery. Regardless of any changes in programming parameters over the following year, the constant current (CC) mode will be maintained.
Constant voltage (CV) subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation
For subjects who have decided to undergo STN-DBS surgery and meet the inclusion criteria, the constant voltage (CV) mode is selected as the original electronic modality one week after surgery. Regardless of any changes in programming parameters over the following year, the constant voltage (CV) mode will be maintained.
