About This Trial
The purpose of this research is to examine the possible causes and signs of freezing of gait (FOG) secondary to Parkinson's disease (PD). To achieve this, the study will use the novel (on-label and FDA-approved) local field potential (LFP) measuring capability of the Medtronic Percept™ deep brain stimulation (DBS) system to compare oscillatory activity in people who have Parkinson's disease, with …
