Brief Summary

A Multi-Center, Controlled Study to Evaluate Use of CereGate Therapy to Reduce Freezing of Gait in Participants Diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease.

  • DBS optimized with documented improvement in motor signs (UPDRSIII) from DBS

Exclusion

  • Participant is unable to understand the study requirements and the treatment procedures, or unwilling / unable to provide written informed consent before any study-specific tests or procedures are performed.

  • Participant, at the time of enrollment, fails the subthalamic nucleus (STN) stimulation challenge test (subject must perceive distinct bilateral sensations).
  • Participant has less than 8% arrhythmicity as measured in the Turning and Barrier Course Figures of 8 (TBC-F8) pre-CG therapy (ON Medications/ON DBS /OFF CG).
