We propose a novel, closed-loop approach to tuning deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease (PD). The approach, termed Phasic Burst Stimulation (PhaBS), applies a burst of stimulus pulses over a range of phases predicted to disrupt pathological oscillations seen in PD. Stimulation parameters are optimized based on phase response curves (PRCs), which would be measured from each patient. This approach is tested in a computational model of PD with an emergent population oscillation. We show that the stimulus phase can be optimized using the PRC, and that PhaBS is more effective at suppressing the pathological oscillation than a single phasic stimulus pulse. PhaBS provides a closed-loop approach to DBS that can be optimized for each patient. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is effective at treating motor symptoms of patients with medication-refractory Parkinson’s disease (PD). Currently, high frequency stimulation (>100 Hz) is tuned for each patient using a trial-and-error process. A systematic approach to tuning stimulation parameters based on patient physiology has the potential to improve patient quality of life. We present a novel closed-loop approach to DBS, termed Phasic Burst Stimulation, where the timing of stimulus pulses is optimized using an algorithm based on patient physiology. A closed-loop approach has the potential to improve therapeutic efficacy, extend battery lifetime by decreasing power consumption, decrease negative side effects by more selectively stimulating, and adjust as motor symptoms fluctuate.
