Study Summary

This trial tests how 15 PwPDs react to exercise while off meds when undergoing DBS surgery. Motor response is tested using MDS-UPDRS and force-tracking tasks.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Parkinson's Disease (PD) who have had Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery using the Medtronic Percept system at least six months ago. Participants must be able to use a stationary cycle and agree to stop PD medications and DBS stimulation during the study. They need exercise clearance, but can't join if they have dementia, other neurological diseases, musculoskeletal issues affecting cycling ability, or uncontrolled cardiovascular conditions.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study examines how forced and voluntary exercise on a stationary bike affects neural activity in the Subthalamic Nucleus of people with PD who've undergone DBS surgery. It measures brain activity before, during, and after exercise sessions while participants are off their PD medication.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves physical exercise rather than medication or invasive procedures, side effects may include typical exercise-related responses such as fatigue or muscle soreness. However, specific risks related to Parkinson's symptoms without medication will be monitored.
