  • 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).
