Intraoperative Microelectrode Recordings with MAVEN vs Standard Equipment

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study compares electrophysiologic data from MAVEN, a multifunctional device, with standard Alpha Omega recording systems during deep brain stimulation surgery for essential tremor, Parkinson’s disease, and dystonia. The aim is to see if MAVEN yields comparable microelectrode and neurotransmitter recordings when used in the operating room with the same number of electrodes as current practice. Mayo Clinic patients scheduled for DBS under Dr. Kendall Lee will be included, and those approved for DBS by the local committee are eligible. The analysis will involve data collected intraoperatively and will focus on compatibility and data quality relative to the standard-of-care equipment.
