Inclusion criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Candidate for DBS implant in the treatment of Parkinson's disease * Must be on stable anti-parkinsonian medications for 28 days prior to Informed Consent * Persistent disabling Parkinson's disease symptoms such as dyskinesias, motor fluctuations, or disabling off periods despite optimal medical therapy * Be willing and able to comply with all visits and study related procedures (e.g., using the remote control, charging system, etc.). Key

Exclusion criteria

* Any intracranial abnormality or medical condition that would contraindicate DBS surgery * Have any significant psychiatric or cognitive condition likely to compromise the subject's ability to comply with requirements of the study protocol (e.g. bipolar, schizophrenia, mood disorder with psychotic features, cluster B personality disorders) * Any current drug or alcohol abuse, as determined by the investigator * Any history of recurrent or unprovoked seizures

Change in Motor Function12 weeks post device-activationMean change in Movement Disorder Society-Sponsored Revision of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating (MDS-UPDRS) Part III scores from Baseline in meds off condition to 12 weeks post device-activation in stim on/meds off condition. Range 0 - 108. Higher scores indicate worse function.
