[PMID: 39282508 PMCID: PMC11396028 DOI: 10.1212/cpj.0000000000200326] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 09/19/2024]
Abstract
Background and Objectives Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a well-established treatment for Parkinson disease (PD), with programming methods continually evolving. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and patient burden between conventional ring-mode programming (CP-RM) and image-guided volume of tissue activated (IG-VTA) programming for subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS in PD. Methods In this retrospective study, patients with PD who underwent STN-DBS between 2011 and 2014 (CP-RM group) and 2019 and 2021 (IG-VTA group) were evaluated. The primary outcome was the improvement in the UPDRS III score from preoperative OFF to postoperative ON state without medication at one-year follow-up. Secondary outcomes included hospital stay duration and programming sessions. Results A total of 26 patients were analyzed (IG-VTA: n = 12, CP-RM: n = 14). Both groups showed similar improvements in UPDRS III scores (IG-VTA: 43.62, CP-RM: 41.29). However, the IG-VTA group experienced shorter immediate postoperative hospital stays and fewer hospitalizations after discharge. Discussion IG-VTA programming preserved the clinical efficacy of STN-DBS over 1 year and reduced the patient and clinician burden of hospital stay and programming sessions. However, conclusions drawn must consider the limitations of retrospective design, differing time epochs, and evolving clinical practices. Further multicentric and prospective studies are warranted to validate these findings in the evolving field of neurostimulation. Trial Registration Information The trial is registered on clinicaltrials.gov (NCT05103072).

Intraoperative microelectrode recording during asleep deep brain stimulation of subthalamic nucleus for Parkinson Disease. A case series with systematic review of the literature. Neurosurg Rev 2024; 47:342.

Abstract
The use of microelectrode recording (MER) during deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson Disease is controversial. Furthermore, in asleep DBS anesthesia can impair the ability to record single-cell electric activity.The purpose of this study was to describe our surgical and anesthesiologic protocol for MER assessment during asleep subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS and to put our findings in the context of a systematic review of the literature. Sixty-three STN electrodes were implanted in 32 patients under general anesthesia. A frameless technique using O-Arm scanning was adopted in all cases. Total intravenous anesthesia, monitored with bispectral index, was administered using a target controlled infusion of both propofol and remifentanil. A systematic review of the literature with metanalysis on MER in asleep vs awake STN DBS for Parkinson Disease was performed. In our series, MER could be reliably recorded in all cases, impacting profoundly on electrode positioning: the final position was located within 2 mm from the planned target only in 42.9% cases. Depth modification > 2 mm was necessary in 21 cases (33.3%), while in 15 cases (23.8%) a different track was used. At 1-year follow-up we observed a significant reduction in LEDD, UPDRS Part III score off-medications, and UPDRS Part III score on medications, as compared to baseline. The systematic review of the literature yielded 23 papers; adding the cases here reported, overall 1258 asleep DBS cases using MER are described. This technique was safe and effective: metanalysis showed similar, if not better, outcome of asleep vs awake patients operated using MER. MER are a useful and reliable tool during asleep STN DBS, leading to a fine tuning of electrode position in the majority of cases. Collaboration between neurosurgeon, neurophysiologist and neuroanesthesiologist is crucial, since slight modifications of sedation level can impact profoundly on MER reliability.

Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus in severe Parkinson's disease: relationships between dual-contact topographic setting and 1-year worsening of speech and gait. Acta Neurochir (Wien) 2023; 165:3927-3941.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) alleviates severe motor fluctuations and dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease, but may result in speech and gait disorders. Among the suspected or demonstrated causes of these adverse effects, we focused on the topography of contact balance (CB; individual, right and left relative dual positions), a scantly studied topic, analyzing the relationships between symmetric or non-symmetric settings, and the worsening of these signs. METHOD An observational monocentric study was conducted on a series of 92 patients after ethical approval. CB was specified by longitudinal and transversal positions and relation to the STN (CB sub-aspects) and totalized at the patient level (patient CB). CB was deemed symmetric when the two contacts were at the same locations relative to the STN. CB was deemed asymmetric when at least one sub-aspect differed in the patient CB. Baseline and 1-year characteristics were routinely collected: (i) general, namely, Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scores (UPDRS), II, III motor and IV, daily levodopa equivalent doses, and Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire of Quality of Life (PDQ39) scores; (ii) specific, namely scores for speech (II-5 and III-18) and axial signs (II-14, III-28, III-29, and III-30). Only significant correlations were considered (p < 0.05). RESULTS Baseline characteristics were comparable (symmetric versus asymmetric). CB settings were related to deteriorations of speech and axial signs: communication PDQ39 and UPDRS speech and gait scores worsened exclusively with symmetric settings; the most influential CB sub-aspect was symmetric longitudinal position. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that avoiding symmetric CB settings, whether by electrode positioning or shaping of electric fields, could reduce worsening of speech and gait.

The Role of Levodopa Challenge in Predicting the Outcome of Subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation. Mov Disord Clin Pract 2023; 10:1181-1191.

Abstract
Background Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) is an effective and evidence-based treatment for idiopathic Parkinson's disease (iPD). A minority of patients does not sufficiently benefit from STN-DBS. Objective The predictive validity of the levodopa challenge for individual patients is analyzed. Methods Data from patients assessed with a preoperative Levodopa-test and a follow-up examination (mean ± standard deviation: 9.15 months ±3.39) from Kiel (n = 253), Berlin (n = 78) and Toronto (n = 98) were studied. Insufficient DBS outcome was defined as an overall UPDRS-III reduction <33% compared to UPDRS-III in med-off at baseline or alternatively if the minimal clinically important improvement of 5 points was not reached. Single UPDRS-items and sub-scores were dichotomized. Following exploratory analysis, we trained supervised regression- and classification models for outcome prediction. Results Data analysis confirmed significant correlation between the absolute UPDRS-III reduction during Levodopa challenge and after stimulation. But individual improvement was inaccurately predicted with a large range of up to 30 UPDRS III points. Further analysis identified preoperative UPDRS-III/med-off-scores and preoperative Levodopa-improvement as most influential factors. The models for UPDRS-III and sub-scores improvement achieved comparably low accuracy. Conclusions With large prediction intervals, the Levodopa challenge use for patient counseling is limited, though remains important for excluding non-responders to Levodopa. Despite these deficiencies, the current practice of patient selection is highly successful and builds not only on the Levodopa challenge. However, more specific motor tasks and further paraclinical tools for prediction need to be developed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Deep brain stimulation (DBS) implantation under general anaesthesia (GA) has been applied to patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) with severe comorbidities or disabling off-medication symptoms. However, general anaesthetics may affect intraoperative microelectrode recording (MER) to varying degrees. At present, there are few studies on the effects of sedatives or general anaesthetics on multiunit activity characteristics performed by MER in patients with PD during DBS. Therefore, the effect of the choice of anaesthesia on MER remains unclear. METHODS/DESIGN This is a prospective randomised controlled, non-inferiority study that will be carried out at Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University. Patients undergoing elective bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN)-DBS will be enrolled after careful screening for eligibility. One hundred and eighty-eight patients will be randomised to receive either conscious sedation (CS) or GA at a 1:1 ratio. The primary outcome is the proportion of high normalised root mean square (NRMS) recorded by the MER signal. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Beijing Tiantan Hospital of Capital Medical University (KY2022-147-02). Negative study results will indicate that GA using desflurane has a non-inferior effect on MER during STN-DBS compared with CS. The results of this clinical trial will be presented at national or international conferences and submitted to a peer-reviewed journal. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05550714.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deep brain stimulation is a common treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD). Despite strong efficacy in well-selected patients, complications can occur. Intraoperative micro-electrode recording (MER) can enhance efficacy by improving lead accuracy. However, there is controversy as to whether MER increases risk of hemorrhage. OBJECTIVES To provide a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis reporting complication rates from deep brain stimulation in PD. We also interrogate the association between hemorrhage and MER. METHODS The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were implemented while querying the Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane databases. All included studies were randomized controlled trials and prospective case series with 5 or more patients. Primary outcomes included rates of overall revision, infection, lead malposition, surgical site and wound complications, hardware-related complications, and seizure. The secondary outcome was the relationship between number of MER tracks and hemorrhage rate. RESULTS 262 articles with 21,261 patients were included in the analysis. Mean follow-up was 25.8 months (range 0-133). Complication rates were: revision 4.9%, infection 4.2%, lead malposition 3.3%, surgical site complications 2.8%, hemorrhage 2.4%, hardware-related complications 2.4%, and seizure 1.9%. While hemorrhage rate did not increase with single-track MER (odds ratio, 3.49; P = 0.29), there was a significant non-linear increase with each additional track. CONCLUSION Infection and lead malposition were the most common complications. Hemorrhage risk increases with more than one MER track. These results highlight the challenge of balancing surgical accuracy and perioperative risk.

Nomogram for Prediction of Postoperative Delirium after Deep Brain Stimulation of Subthalamic Nucleus in Parkinson’s Disease under General Anesthesia. PARKINSON'S DISEASE 2022; 2022:6915627. [DOI: 10.1155/2022/6915627] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2022] [Revised: 09/04/2022] [Accepted: 09/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022]
Abstract
Introduction. Postoperative delirium can increase cognitive impairment and mortality in patients with Parkinson’s disease. The purpose of this study was to develop and internally validate a clinical prediction model of delirium after deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus in Parkinson’s disease under general anesthesia. Methods. We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study on the data of 240 patients with Parkinson’s disease who underwent deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus under general anesthesia. Demographic characteristics, clinical evaluation, imaging data, laboratory data, and surgical anesthesia information were collected. Multivariate logistic regression was used to develop the prediction model for postoperative delirium. Results. A total of 159 patients were included in the cohort, of which 38 (23.90%) had postoperative delirium. Smoking (OR 4.51, 95% CI 1.56–13.02,
) was the most important risk factor; other independent predictors were orthostatic hypotension (OR 3.42, 95% CI 0.90–13.06,
), inhibitors of type-B monoamine oxidase (OR 3.07, 95% CI 1.17–8.04,
), preoperative MRI with silent brain ischemia or infarction (OR 2.36, 95% CI 0.90–6.14,
), Hamilton anxiety scale score (OR 2.12, 95% CI 1.28–3.50,
), and apolipoprotein E level in plasma (OR 1.48, 95% CI 0.95–2.29,
). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.76 (95% CI 0.66–0.86). A nomogram was established and showed good calibration and clinical predictive capacity. After bootstrap for internal verification, the AUC was 0.74 (95% CI 0.66–0.83). Conclusion. This study provides evidence for the independent inducing factors of delirium after deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus in Parkinson’s disease under general anesthesia. By predicting the development of delirium, our model may identify high-risk groups that can benefit from early or preventive intervention.

Anesthesia for deep brain stimulation system implantation: adapted protocol for awake and asleep surgery using microelectrode recordings. Acta Neurochir (Wien) 2022; 164:1175-1182.

Abstract
Purpose Deep brain stimulation (DBS), an effective treatment for movement disorders, usually involves lead implantation while the patient is awake and sedated. Recently, there has been interest in performing the procedure under general anesthesia (asleep). This report of a consecutive cohort of DBS patients describes anesthesia protocols for both awake and asleep procedures. Methods Consecutive patients with Parkinson’s disease received subthalamic nucleus (STN) implants either moderately sedated or while intubated, using propofol and remifentanil. Microelectrode recordings were performed with up to five trajectories after discontinuing sedation in the awake group, or reducing sedation in the asleep group. Clinical outcome was compared between groups with the UPDRS III. Results The awake group (n = 17) received 3.5 mg/kg/h propofol and 11.6 μg/kg/h remifentanil. During recording, all anesthesia was stopped. The asleep group (n = 63) initially received 6.9 mg/kg/h propofol and 31.3 μg/kg/h remifentanil. During recording, this was reduced to 3.1 mg/kg/h propofol and 10.8 μg/kg/h remifentanil. Without parkinsonian medications or stimulation, 3-month UPDRS III ratings (ns = 16 and 52) were 40.8 in the awake group and 41.4 in the asleep group. Without medications but with stimulation turned on, ratings improved to 26.5 in the awake group and 26.3 in the asleep group. With both medications and stimulation, ratings improved further to 17.6 in the awake group and 15.3 in the asleep group. All within-group improvements from the off/off condition were statistically significant (all ps < 0.01). The degree of improvement with stimulation, with or without medications, was not significantly different in the awake vs. asleep groups (ps > 0.05). Conclusion The above anesthesia protocols make possible an asleep implant procedure that can incorporate sufficient microelectrode recording. Together, this may increase patient comfort and improve clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND STN-DBS is a cornerstone in the treatment of advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). The traditional approach is to use an awake operative technique with microelectrode recording (MER). However, more centers start using an asleep MRI-guided technique without MER. OBJECTIVE We systematically reviewed the literature to compare STN-DBS surgery with and without MER for differences in clinical outcome. METHODS We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE, and Web of Science databases for randomized clinical trials and consecutive cohort studies published between 01-01-2000 and 26-08-2021, that included at least 10 PD patients who had received bilateral STN-DBS. RESULTS 2,129 articles were identified. After abstract screening and full-text review, 26 studies were included in the final analysis, comprising a total of 34 study groups (29 MER and 5 non-MER). The standardized mean difference (SMD) in change in motor symptoms between baseline (OFF medication) and 6-24 months follow-up (OFF medication and ON stimulation) was 1.64 for the MER group and 1.87 for non-MER group (p = 0.59). SMD in change in levodopa equivalent daily dose (LEDD) was 1.14 for the MER group and 0.65 for non-MER group (p < 0.01). Insufficient data were available for comparative analysis of PDQ-39 and complications. CONCLUSION The change in motor symptoms from baseline to follow-up did not differ between studies that used MER and those that did not. The postoperative reduction in LEDD from baseline to follow-up was greater in the MER-group. In the absence of high-quality studies comparing both methods, there is a clear need for a well-designed comparative trial.

Abstract
Although deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus internus (GPi) and the subthalamic nucleus (STN) has become an established treatment for Parkinson’s disease (PD), a recent meta-analysis of outcomes is lacking. To address this gap, we performed a meta-analysis of bilateral STN- and GPi-DBS studies published from 1990-08/2019. Studies with ≥10 subjects reporting Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) III motor scores at baseline and 6–12 months follow-up were included. Several outcome variables were analyzed and adverse events (AE) were summarized. 39 STN studies (2035 subjects) and 5 GPi studies (292 subjects) were eligible. UPDRS-II score after surgery in the stimulation-ON/medication-OFF state compared to preoperative medication-OFF state improved by 47% with STN-DBS and 18.5% with GPi-DBS. UPDRS-III score improved by 50.5% with STN-DBS and 29.8% with GPi-DBS. STN-DBS improved dyskinesia by 64%, daily OFF time by 69.1%, and quality of life measured by PDQ-39 by 22.2%, while Levodopa Equivalent Daily Dose (LEDD) was reduced by 50.0%. For GPi-DBS information regarding dyskinesia, OFF time, PDQ-39 and LEDD was insufficient for further analysis. Correlation analysis showed that preoperative L-dopa responsiveness was highly predictive of the STN-DBS motor outcome across all studies. Most common surgery-related AE were infection (5.1%) and intracranial hemorrhage (3.1%). Despite a series of technological advances, outcomes of modern surgery are still comparable with those of the early days of DBS. Recent changes in target selection with a preference of GPi in elderly patients with cognitive deficits and more psychiatric comorbidities require more published data for validation.

Optimized Propofol Anesthesia Increases Power of Subthalamic Neuronal Activity in Patients with Parkinson's Disease Undergoing Deep Brain Stimulation. Neurol Ther 2021; 10:785-802.

Abstract
Introduction Propofol is a general anesthetic option for deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, its effects on STN activity and neuropsychological outcomes are controversial. The optimal propofol anesthesia for asleep DBS is unknown. This study investigated the safety and effectiveness of an optimized propofol anesthesia regimen in asleep DBS. Methods This retrospective study enrolled 68 PD patients undergoing bilateral STN-DBS surgery. All patients received local scalp anesthesia, with (asleep group, n = 35) or without (awake group, n = 33) propofol-remifentanil general anesthesia by target-controlled infusion under electroencephalogram monitoring. The primary outcome was subthalamic neuronal spiking characterization during microelectrode recording. The secondary outcomes were clinical outcomes including motor, cognition, mind, sleep, and quality of life at 6 months. Results Significantly increased delta and theta power were obtained under propofol anesthesia (awake vs. asleep group, mean ± standard deviation; delta: 31.97 ± 9.87 vs. 39.77 ± 10.56, p < 0.01; theta: 21.09 ± 5.55 vs. 24.82 ± 6.63, p = 0.01). After excluding the influence of confounding factors of age and preoperative motor scores, there was a statistically significant influence on the delta, theta, and alpha power of STN neuronal activity under different anesthesia regimens (delta: β = 2.64, p < 0.01; theta: β = 2.11, p < 0.01; alpha: β = 1.42, p = 0.01). There were no differences in modified burst index, firing rate, tract numbers of microelectrode recording, and other clinical outcomes between the two groups. Conclusion Optimized propofol anesthesia enhanced the delta, theta, and alpha power in STN compared with the awake technique and likely contributed to target recognition under propofol anesthesia. These results demonstrate that propofol is suitable, but needs to be optimized, for asleep STN-DBS. Trial Registration Chinese Clinical Trial Registry Identification number: ChiCTR2100045942.

Effects of dexmedetomidine on subthalamic local field potentials in Parkinson's disease. Br J Anaesth 2021; 127:245-253.

Abstract
Background Dexmedetomidine is frequently used for sedation during deep brain stimulator implantation in patients with Parkinson's disease, but its effect on subthalamic nucleus activity is not well known. The aim of this study was to quantify the effect of increasing doses of dexmedetomidine in this population. Methods Controlled clinical trial assessing changes in subthalamic activity with increasing doses of dexmedetomidine (from 0.2 to 0.6 μg kg−1 h−1) in a non-operating theatre setting. We recorded local field potentials in 12 patients with Parkinson's disease with bilateral deep brain stimulators (24 nuclei) and compared basal activity in the nuclei of each patient and activity recorded with different doses. Plasma levels of dexmedetomidine were obtained and correlated with the dose administered. Results With dexmedetomidine infusion, patients became clinically sedated, and at higher doses (0.5–0.6 μg kg−1 h−1) a significant decrease in the characteristic Parkinsonian subthalamic activity was observed (P<0.05 in beta activity). All subjects awoke to external stimulus over a median of 1 (range: 0–9) min, showing full restoration of subthalamic activity. Dexmedetomidine dose administered and plasma levels showed a positive correlation (repeated measures correlation coefficient=0.504; P<0.001). Conclusions Patients needing some degree of sedation throughout subthalamic deep brain stimulator implantation for Parkinson's disease can probably receive dexmedetomidine up to 0.6 μg kg−1 h−1 without significant alteration of their characteristic subthalamic activity. If patients achieve a ‘sedated’ state, subthalamic activity decreases, but they can be easily awakened with a non-pharmacological external stimulus and recover baseline subthalamic activity patterns in less than 10 min.

Deep Brain Stimulation of the Subthalamic Nucleus in Parkinson's Disease: A Meta-Analysis of Mood Effects. Neuropsychol Rev 2021; 31:385-401.

Abstract
This meta-analysis examines mood changes after bilateral subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Deep brain stimulation improves motor outcomes in Parkinson's disease but there appears to be conflicting reports as to subsequent mood outcomes. Pubmed, PsychINFO and SCOPUS were searched for studies assessing mood outcomes in PD patients who had undergone STN-DBS published between January 2003 and the end of January 2019. Random effects meta-analyses were conducted for all outcome groups with at least two studies homogenous in design and measure. Forty-eight studies, providing data on negative moods (such as depression, anxiety, apathy, and anger) and positive moods (pleasure and euphoria) were assessed. Results of the meta-analysis suggest that post-DBS, depression and anxiety symptoms improve and there is a reduction in negative affect, an increase in apathy, and in energy level. Although there have been reported cases of mania post-DBS surgery, the meta-analysis suggested no significant changes in symptoms of mania in the broader DBS population. Considerable heterogeneity was found and partially addressed through meta-regression and qualitative assessment of the included STN-DBS controlled studies. The major strengths of this meta-analysis, include attention to outcome validity, heterogeneity, independence of samples, and clinical utility, with the potential to improve post-operative safety through comprehensive consideration of mood and psychological adjustment. It appears that STN-DBS is a relatively safe and, in the case of mood symptomatology, an advantageous treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
Precise stereotactic targeting of the dorsolateral motor part of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is paramount for maximizing clinical effectiveness and preventing side effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease. With recent developments in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, direct targeting of the dorsolateral part of the STN is now feasible, together with visualization of the motor fibers in the nearby internal capsule. However, clinically relevant discrepancies were reported when comparing STN borders on MRI to electrophysiological STN borders during microelectrode recordings (MER). Also, one should take into account the possibility of a 3D inaccuracy of up to 2 mm of the applied stereotactic technique. Pneumocephalus and image fusion errors may further increase implantation inaccuracy. Even when implantation has been successful, suboptimal lead anchoring on the skull may cause lead migration during follow-up. Meticulous pre- and intraoperative imaging is therefore indispensable, and so is postoperative imaging when the effects of DBS deteriorate during follow-up. Thus far, most DBS centers employ MRI targeting, multichannel MER, and awake test stimulation in STN surgery, but randomized trials comparing surgery under local versus general anesthesia and additional studies comparing MER-STN borders to high-field MRI-STN may change this clinical practice. Further developments in imaging protocols and improvements in image fusion processes are needed to optimize placement of DBS leads in the dorsolateral motor part of the STN in Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
Bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a well-established treatment in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Traditionally, STN DBS for PD is performed by using microelectrode recording (MER) and/or intraoperative macrostimulation under local anesthesia (LA). However, many patients cannot tolerate the long operation time under LA without medication. In addition, it cannot be even be performed on PD patients with poor physical and neurological condition. Recently, it has been reported that STN DBS under general anesthesia (GA) can be successfully performed due to the feasible MER under GA, as well as the technical advancement in direct targeting and intraoperative imaging. The authors reviewed the previously published literature on STN DBS under GA using intraoperative imaging and MER, focused on discussing the technique, clinical outcome, and the complication, as well as introducing our single-center experience. Based on the reports of previously published studies and ours, GA did not interfere with the MER signal from STN. STN DBS under GA without intraoperative stimulation shows similar or better clinical outcome without any additional complication compared to STN DBS under LA. Long-term follow-up with a large number of the patients would be necessary to validate the safety and efficacy of STN DBS under GA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The effect of anesthesia type in terms of asleep vs. awake deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery on therapeutic window (TW) has not been investigated so far. The objective of the study was to investigate whether asleep DBS surgery of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) improves TW for both directional (dDBS) and omnidirectional (oDBS) stimulation in a large single-center population. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 104 consecutive patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) undergoing STN-DBS surgery (80 asleep and 24 awake) were compared regarding TW, therapeutic threshold, side effect threshold, improvement of Unified PD Rating Scale motor score (UPDRS-III) and degree of levodopa equivalent daily dose (LEDD) reduction. RESULTS Asleep DBS surgery led to significantly wider TW compared to awake surgery for both dDBS and oDBS. However, dDBS further increased TW compared to oDBS in the asleep group only and not in the awake group. Clinical efficacy in terms of UPDRS-III improvement and LEDD reduction did not differ between groups. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides first evidence for improvement of therapeutic window by asleep surgery compared to awake surgery, which can be strengthened further by dDBS. These results support the notion of preferring asleep over awake surgery but needs to be confirmed by prospective trials.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
General anesthetics-induced changes of electrical oscillations in the basal ganglia may render the identification of the stimulation targets difficult. The authors hypothesized that while sevoflurane anesthesia entrains coherent lower frequency oscillations, it does not affect the identification of the subthalamic nucleus and clinical outcome.
Methods
A cohort of 19 patients with Parkinson’s disease with comparable disability underwent placement of electrodes under either sevoflurane general anesthesia (n = 10) or local anesthesia (n = 9). Microelectrode recordings during targeting were compared for neuronal spiking characteristics and oscillatory dynamics. Clinical outcomes were compared at 5-yr follow-up.
Results
Under sevoflurane anesthesia, subbeta frequency oscillations predominated (general vs. local anesthesia, mean ± SD; delta: 13 ± 7.3% vs. 7.8 ± 4.8%; theta: 8.4 ± 4.1% vs. 3.9 ± 1.6%; alpha: 8.1 ± 4.1% vs. 4.8 ± 1.5%; all P < 0.001). In addition, distinct dorsolateral beta and ventromedial gamma oscillations were detected in the subthalamic nucleus solely in awake surgery (mean ± SD; dorsal vs. ventral beta band power: 20.5 ± 6.6% vs. 15.4 ± 4.3%; P < 0.001). Firing properties of subthalamic neurons did not show significant difference between groups. Clinical outcomes with regard to improvement in motor and psychiatric symptoms and adverse effects were comparable for both groups. Tract numbers of microelectrode recording, active contact coordinates, and stimulation parameters were also equivalent.
Conclusions
Sevoflurane general anesthesia decreased beta-frequency oscillations by inducing coherent lower frequency oscillations, comparable to the pattern seen in the scalp electroencephalogram. Nevertheless, sevoflurane-induced changes in electrical activity patterns did not reduce electrode placement accuracy and clinical effect. These observations suggest that microelectrode-guided deep brain stimulation under sevoflurane anesthesia is a feasible clinical option.

Relative Contribution of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Microelectrode Recordings, and Awake Test Stimulation in Final Lead Placement during Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery of the Subthalamic Nucleus in Parkinson's Disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION For deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in Parkinson's disease (PD), many centers employ visualization of the nucleus on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), intraoperative microelectrode recordings (MER), and test stimulation in awake patients. The value of these steps is a subject for ongoing debate. In the current study, we determined the relative contribution of MRI targeting, multitrack MER, and awake test stimulation in final lead placement during STN DBS surgery for PD. METHODS Data on PD patients undergoing MRI-targeted STN DBS surgery with three-channel MER and awake test stimulation between February 2010 and January 2014 were analyzed to determine in which MER trajectory final leads were implanted and why this tract was chosen. RESULTS Seventy-six patients underwent implantation of 146 DBS leads. In 92% of the STN, the final leads were implanted in one of the three planned channels. In 6%, additional channels were needed. In 2%, surgery was aborted before final lead implantation due to anxiety or fatigue. The final leads were implanted in the channels with the longest STN MER signal trajectory in 60% of the STN (38% of the bilaterally implanted patients). This was the central channel containing the MRI target in 39% of the STN (18% bilaterally). The most frequently noted reasons why another channel than the central channel was chosen for final lead placement were (1) a lower threshold for side effects (54%) and (2) no or a too short trajectory of the STN MER signal (40%) in the central channel. The latter reason correlated with larger 2D (x and y) errors in our stereotactic method. CONCLUSIONS STN DBS leads were often not implanted in the MRI-planned trajectory or in the trajectory with the longest STN MER signal. Thresholds for side effects during awake test stimulation were decisive for final target selection in the majority of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microelectrode recording (MER) for target refinement is widely used in deep brain stimulator insertion for Parkinson disease. Signals may be influenced by anesthetics when patients receive general anesthesia (GA). This study determined the inhibitory concentration (IC) of propofol on MER signals when it was coadministered with dexmedetomidine. METHODS Patients were anesthetized with dexmedetomidine (0.5 μg·kg loading, followed by infusion at 0.4 μg·kgh) and propofol through target-controlled infusion for GA with tracheal intubation. The surgeon conducted the online scoring of the background signals, spiking frequency, amplitude, and pattern of single-unit activities by using a 0-10 verbal numerical rating scale (NRS; 0, maximal suppression; 10, minimal suppression), and responses were grouped into suppression (NRS ≤ 6) and nonsuppression (NRS > 6). The median inhibitory concentration (IC50) of propofol (as target effect-site concentrations: Ceprop) was determined using modified Dixon's up-and-down method. Probit regression analysis was further used to obtain the dose-response relationship, and IC05 and IC95 were calculated. RESULTS Twenty-three adult patients participated in this study. Under the concomitant infusion of dexmedetomidine, the predicted IC50 value (95% CI) of Ceprop for neuronal suppression during MER was 1.29 (1.24-1.34) μg·mL as calculated using modified Dixon's up-and-down method. Using probit analysis, the estimated IC05, IC50, and IC95 values (95% CIs) were 1.17 (0.87-1.23), 1.28 (1.21-1.34), and 1.40 (1.33-1.85) μg·mL, respectively. CONCLUSION Our data provided reference values of propofol for dosage adjustment to avoid interference on MER under GA when anesthetics have to be continuously infused during recording.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease (PD) has been applied to clinic for approximately 30 years. The goal of this review is to explore the similarities and differences between "awake" and "asleep" DBS techniques. METHODS A comprehensive literature review was carried out to identify relevant studies and review articles describing applications of "awake" or "asleep" DBS for Parkinson's disease. The surgical procedures, clinical outcomes, costs and complications of each technique were compared in detail through literature review. RESULTS The surgical procedures of awake and asleep DBS surgeries rely upon different methods for verification of intended target acquisition. The existing research results demonstrated that the stereotactic targeting accuracy of lead placement obtained by either method is reliable. There were no significant differences in clinical outcomes, costs, or complications between the two techniques. CONCLUSION The surgical and clinical outcomes of asleep DBS for PD are comparable to those of awake DBS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The use of a robot-assisted technology becomes very competitive. The aim of this work was to define the accuracy of robotic assistance in deep brain stimulation surgery and to compare results with that in the literature. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the accuracy of lead implantation in 24 consecutive patients who had robot-assisted (ROSA, Zimmer-Biomet) surgery for the treatment of movement disorders. Intended stereotactic coordinates (x, y, z) of contact 0 (the most distal contact at the tip of the electrode) of each definitive lead were compared with actual coordinates obtained by a postoperative CT scan. For each lead, the euclidian 3D distance between the actual and intended location of contact 0 was calculated. RESULTS The euclidian 3D distances between the intended and actual location of the contact 0 were 0.81 mm on the right side and 1.12 mm on the left side. DISCUSSION Robot-assisted technology for stereotactic surgery is safe and accurate. The association with a 3D flat-panel CT scan is an optimized procedure for deep intracranial electrode implantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease (PD) is frequently associated with behavioral disorders, particularly within the spectrum of motivated behaviors such as apathy or impulsivity. Both pharmacological and neurosurgical treatments have an impact on these impairments. However, there still is controversy as to whether subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) can cause or reduce impulsive behaviors. OBJECTIVES We aimed to identify the influence of functional surgery on decision-making processes in PD. METHODS We studied 13 PD patients and 13 healthy controls. The experimental task involved squeezing a dynamometer with variable force to obtain rewards of various values under four conditions: without treatment, with l-dopa or subthalamic stimulation alone, and with both l-dopa and subthalamic stimulation. Statistical analyses consisted of generalized linear mixed models including treatment condition, reward value, level of effort, and their interactions. We analyzed acceptance rate (the percentage of accepted trials), decision time, and force applied. RESULTS Comparatively to controls, patients without treatment exhibited lower acceptance rate and force applied. Patients under l-dopa alone did not exhibit increased acceptance rate. With subthalamic stimulation, either with or without added l-dopa, all measures were improved so that patients' behaviors were undistinguishable from healthy controls'. CONCLUSIONS Our study shows that l-dopa administration does not fully restore cost-benefit decision-making processes, whereas STN-DBS fully normalizes patients' behaviors. These findings suggest that dopamine is partly involved in cost-benefit valuation, and that STN-DBS can have a beneficial effect on motivated behaviors in PD and may improve certain forms of impulsive behaviors. © 2019 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Five-Year Clinical Outcomes of Local versus General Anesthesia Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease. PARKINSONS DISEASE 2019; 2019:5676345.

Abstract
Background Studies comparing long-term outcomes between general anesthesia (GA) and local anesthesia (LA) for STN-DBS in Parkinson's disease (PD) are lacking. Whether patients who received STN-DBS in GA could get the same benefit without compromising electrophysiological recording is debated. Methods We compared five-year outcomes for different anesthetic methods (GA vs LA) during STN-DBS for PD. Thirty-six consecutive PD patients with similar preoperative characteristics, including age, disease duration, and severity, underwent the same surgical procedures except the GA (n=22) group with inhalational anesthesia and LA (n=14) with local anesthesia during microelectrode recording and intraoperative macrostimulation test. Surgical outcome evaluations included Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), Mini-Mental Status Examinations, and the Beck Depression Inventory. Stimulation parameters and coordinates of STN targeting were also collected. Results Both groups attained similar benefits in UPDRS part III from STN-DBS (GA 43.2 ± 14.1% vs. LA 46.8 ± 13.8% decrease, p=0.45; DBS on/Med off vs. DBS off/Med off) and no difference in reduction of levodopa equivalent doses (GA 47.56 ± 18.98% vs. LA 51.37 ± 31.73%, p=0.51) at the five-year follow-up. In terms of amplitude, frequency, and pulse width, the stimulation parameters used for DBS were comparable, and the coordinates of preoperative targeting and postoperative electrode tip were similar between two groups. There was no difference in STN recording length as well. Significantly less number of MER tracts in GA was found (p=0.04). Adverse effects were similar in both groups. Conclusions Our study confirmed that STN localization with microelectrode recording and patient comfort could be achieved based on equal effectiveness and safety of STN-DBS under GA compared with LA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS There are reports that microelectrode recording (MER) can be performed under certain anesthetized conditions for functional confirmation of the optimal deep brain stimulation (DBS) target. However, it is generally accepted that anesthesia affects MER. Due to a potential role of local field potentials (LFPs) in DBS functional mapping, we characterized the effect of propofol on globus pallidus interna (GPi) and externa (GPe) LFPs in Parkinson disease (PD) patients. METHODS We collected LFPs in 12 awake and anesthetized PD patients undergoing DBS implantation. Spectral power of β (13-35 Hz) and high-frequency oscillations (HFOs: 200-300 Hz) was compared across the pallidum. RESULTS Propofol suppressed GPi power by > 20 Hz while increasing power at lower frequencies. A similar power shift was observed in GPe; however, power in the high β range (20-35 Hz) increased with propofol. Before anesthesia both β and HFO activity were significantly greater at the GPi (χ2 = 20.63 and χ2 = 48.81, p < 0.0001). However, during anesthesia, we found no significant difference across the pallidum (χ2 = 0.47, p = 0.79, and χ2 = 4.11, p = 0.12). CONCLUSION GPi and GPe are distinguishable using LFP spectral profiles in the awake condition. Propofol obliterates this spectral differentiation. Therefore, LFP spectra cannot be relied upon in the propofol-anesthetized state for functional mapping during DBS implantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is not clear whether cognitive adverse events can occur after subthalamic nuclei deep brain stimulation in Parkinson disease, and the putative mechanisms are poorly understood. CASE DESCRIPTION We report on a rare case of a 68-year-old woman with Parkinson disease but no previous cognitive impairment. The day after deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nuclei, the woman presented with new-onset dementia and acute, severe, persistent, global cognitive decline, prompting a diagnosis of Alzheimer disease. CONCLUSIONS In patients seen in routine clinical practice, the simultaneous presence of several neurodegenerative diseases might not be uncommon. The assessment of mild cognitive impairment with a standardized method is highly recommended, a systematic 3-dimensional volumetric analysis of hippocampal structures should be part of the pre-deep brain stimulation evaluation, and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers should be screened for if at least 1 of the 2 previously mentioned aspects is abnormal.

Abstract
Exaggerated activity in the beta band (13-35 Hz) is a hallmark of basal ganglia signals in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Beta activity however is not constantly elevated, but comes in bursts. In previous work we showed that the longer beta bursts are maintained, the more the oscillatory synchronisation within the subthalamic nucleus (STN) increases, which is posited to limit the information coding capacity of local circuits. Accordingly, a higher incidence of longer bursts correlates positively with clinical impairment, while the opposite is true for short, more physiological bursts. Here, we test the hypothesis that beta bursts not only indicate local synchronisation within the STN, but also phasic coupling across the motor network and hence entail an even greater restriction of information coding capacity in patients with PD. Local field potentials from the subthalamic nucleus and EEG over the motor cortex area were recorded in nine PD patients after temporary lead externalization after surgery for deep brain stimulation and overnight withdrawal of levodopa. Beta bursts were defined as periods exceeding the 75th percentile of signal amplitude and the coupling between bursts was considered using two distinct measurements, first the % overlapping (%OVL) as a feature of the amplitude coupling and secondly the phase synchrony index (PSI) to measure the phase coupling between regions. %OVL between STN and cortex and between the left and the right STN was higher than expected between the regions than if they had been independent. Similarly, PSI was higher during bursts as opposed to non-bursts periods. In addition, %OVL was greater for long compared to short bursts. Our results support the hypothesis that beta bursts involve long-range coupling between structures in the basal ganglia-cortical network. The impact of this is greater during long as opposed to short duration beta bursts. Accordingly, we posit that episodes of simultaneously elevated coupling across multiple structures in the basal ganglia-cortical circuit further limit information coding capacity and may have further impact upon motor impairment.

Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective (but non-curative) treatment for some of the motor symptoms and treatment complications associated with dopaminergic agents in Parkinson's disease (PD). DBS can be done relatively safely and is associated with quality of life gains. In most DBS centers, neuropsychological evaluations are performed routinely before surgery, and sometimes after surgery. The purpose of such evaluation is not to decide solely on its results whether or not to offer DBS to a given candidate, but to provide the patient and treatment team with the best available information to make reasonable risk-benefit assessments. This review provides information relevant to the questions often asked by patients and their carepartners, neurologists, and neurosurgeons about neuropsychological outcomes of DBS, including neuropsychological adverse event rates, magnitude of cognitive changes, outcomes after unilateral versus bilateral surgery directed at various targets, impact of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) on outcome, factors implicated in neurobehavioral outcomes, and safety of newer interventions or techniques such as asleep surgery and current steering.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson's disease (PD) is usually performed as awake surgery allowing sufficient intraoperative testing. Recently, outcomes after asleep surgery have been assumed comparable. However, direct comparisons between awake and asleep surgery are scarce. OBJECTIVE To investigate the difference between awake and asleep surgery comparing motor and nonmotor outcome after subthalamic nucleus (STN)-DBS in a large single center PD population. METHODS Ninety-six patients were retrospectively matched pairwise (48 asleep and 48 awake) and compared regarding improvement of Unified PD Rating Scale Motor Score (UPDRS-III), cognitive function, Levodopa-equivalent-daily-dose (LEDD), stimulation amplitudes, side effects, surgery duration, and complication rates. Routine testing took place at three months and one year postoperatively. RESULTS Chronic DBS effects (UPDRS-III without medication and with stimulation on [OFF/ON]) significantly improved UPDRS-III only after awake surgery at three months and in both groups one year postoperatively. Acute effects (percentage UPDRS-III reduction after activation of stimulation) were also significantly better after awake surgery at three months but not at one year compared to asleep surgery. UPDRS-III subitems "freezing" and "speech" were significantly worse after asleep surgery at three months and one year, respectively. LEDD was significantly lower after awake surgery only one week postoperatively. The other measures did not differ between groups. CONCLUSIONS Overall motor function improved faster in the awake surgery group, but the difference ceased after one year. However, axial subitems were worse in the asleep surgery group suggesting that worsening of axial symptoms was risked improving overall motor function. Awake surgery still seems advantageous for STN-DBS in PD, although asleep surgery may be considered with lower threshold in patients not suitable for awake surgery.

Abstract
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Sedatives and opioids used during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery interfere with optimal target localization and add to side effects and risks, and thus should be minimized. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> To retrospectively test the actual need for sedatives and opioids when cranial nerve blocks and specific therapeutic communication are applied. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> In a case series, 64 consecutive patients treated with a strong rapport, constant contact, non-verbal communication and hypnotic suggestions, such as dissociation to a “safe place,” reframing of disturbing noises and self-confirmation, were compared to 22 preceding patients under standard general anaesthesia or conscious sedation. <b><i>Results:</i></b> With introduction of the protocol the need for sedation dropped from 100% in the control group to 5%, and from a mean dose of 444 mg to 40 mg in 3 patients. Remifentanil originally used in 100% of the patients in an average dose of 813 µg was reduced in the study group to 104 µg in 31% of patients. There were no haemodynamic reactions indicative of stress during incision, trepanation, electrode insertion and closure. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> With adequate therapeutic communication, patients do not require sedation and no or only low-dose opioid treatment during DBS surgery, leaving patients fully awake and competent during surgery and testing.

Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) under general anesthesia (GA) had been used in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients who are unable tolerate awake surgery. The effect of anesthetics on intraoperative microelectrode recording (MER) remains unclear. Understanding the effect of anesthetics on MER is important in performing STN DBS surgery with general anesthesia. In this study, we retrospectively performed qualitive and quantitative analysis of STN MER in PD patients received STN DBS with controlled desflurane anesthesia or LA and compared their clinical outcome. From January 2005 to March 2006, 19 consecutive PD patients received bilateral STN DBS surgery in Hualien Tzu-Chi hospital under either desflurane GA (n = 10) or LA (n = 9). We used spike analysis (frequency and modified burst index [MBI]) and the Hilbert transform to obtain signal power measurements for background and spikes, and compared the characterizations of intraoperative microelectrode signals between the two groups. Additionally, STN firing pattern characteristics were determined using a combined approach based on the autocorrelogram and power spectral analysis, which was employed to investigate differences in the oscillatory activities between the groups. Clinical outcomes were assessed using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) before and after surgery. The results revealed burst firing was observed in both groups. The firing frequencies were greater in the LA group and MBI was comparable in both groups. Both the background and spikes were of significantly greater power in the LA group. The power spectra of the autocorrelograms were significantly higher in the GA group between 4 and 8 Hz. Clinical outcomes based on the UPDRS were comparable in both groups before and after DBS surgery. Under controlled light desflurane GA, burst features of the neuronal firing patterns are preserved in the STN, but power is reduced. Enhanced low-frequency (4–8 Hz) oscillations in the MERs for the GA group could be a characteristic signature of desflurane's effect on neurons in the STN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) has become a standard treatment for many patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The reported clinical outcome measures for procedures done under general anesthesia (GA) compared to traditional local anesthetic (LA) technique are quite heterogeneous and difficult to compare. The aim of this systematic review and metaanalysis was to determine whether the clinical outcome after STN-DBS insertion under GA is comparable to that under LA in patients with Parkinson's disease. METHODS The databases of Medline Embase, Cochrane library and Pubmed were searched for eligible studies (human trials, English language, published between 1946 and January of 2016). The primary outcome of this study was to assess the postoperative improvement in the symptoms, evaluated using either Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) scores or levodopa equivalent dosage (LEDD) requirement. RESULTS The literature searches yielded 395 citations and six retrospective cohort studies with a sample size of 455 (194 in GA and 261 in LA) were included in the analysis. Regarding the clinical outcomes, there were no significant differences in the postoperative Unified Parkinson's disease rating scale and levodopa equivalent drug dosage between the GA and the LA groups. Similarly, the adverse events and target accuracy were also comparable between the groups. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review and meta-analysis shows that currently there is no good quality data to suggest equivalence of GA to LA during STN-DBS insertion in patients with PD, with some factors trending towards LA. There is a need for a prospective randomized control trial to validate our results.

Abstract
Background The aim of the study is to investigate if deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) for Parkinson’s disease (PD) under general anesthesia further improves outcome by lessening postoperative cognitive, mood, and behavioral adverse effects; shorten surgical time and hospital admittance; and produce comparable symptomatic and functional improvement to surgery under local anesthesia. Methods/design The study will be a single-center, prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint trial comparing DBS under general anesthesia with DBS under local anesthesia. The primary outcome measure is a composite score of the postoperative cognitive, mood, and behavioral adverse effects and will be measured 6 months after surgery. The secondary outcome measures consist of changes in motor symptoms, adverse effects of stimulation and surgical complications, surgical time, functional health, quality of life, patient satisfaction with the outcome of treatment, patient evaluation of the burden of therapy, and medication. A total of 110 patients with advanced PD who are candidates for DBS will be randomized during a 2.5-year period. Discussion The aim of this trial is to further enhance the effectiveness of DBS treatment in PD while reducing the burden of DBS surgery by studying if DBS surgery under general anesthesia results in less cognitive, mood, and behavioral adverse effects compared with surgery under local anesthesia.

Sedation During Surgery for Movement Disorders and Perioperative Neurologic Complications: An Observational Study Comparing Local Anesthesia, Remifentanil, and Dexmedetomidine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The anesthetic management of patients requiring surgery for movement disorders needs to balance microrecording quality and patient cooperation with safety and comfort. Anesthetics can alter microrecording, although the effect on outcome is debatable. They also provide a rested and cooperative patient and minimize complications such as intracranial hemorrhage by providing better hemodynamic control. Most teams use local anesthesia with monitored anesthesia care or conscious sedation with propofol. Recently, dexmedetomidine has emerged as an alternative that, at low doses, does not affect microrecording, and that does not impair respiratory drive. METHODS In the past 15 years, we have used in our institution local anesthesia, remifentanil, or dexmedetomidine sedation. We compared functional outcome and rate of complications in a group of 145 patients with similar characteristics. RESULTS We found 5 (3.4%) intracranial hemorrhages. Two (1.4%) were symptomatic. The remifentanil group had the highest risk of having systolic blood pressure >160 mm Hg during surgery (odds ratio [OR], 2.8; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.9-9.9), whereas the dexmedetomidine group had the lowest (OR, 0.7; 95% CI, 0.2-1.8), compared with the local anesthesia group. Surgical time was shortest with dexmedetomidine (mean, 283 minutes) and longest with local anesthesia only (mean, 328 minutes). Functional outcome (Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale, Part III motor component scale) was similar among groups. The dexmedetomidine group had a statistically significant lower risk of perioperative neurologic events compared with the local anesthesia group (OR, 0.09; 95% CI, 0.002-0.68). CONCLUSIONS Sedation can be used safely without affecting outcome, and dexmedetomidine provides better hemodynamic management. Clinical significance remains unclear and larger studies need to be undertaken.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The placement of subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes can be facilitated by intraoperative microelectrode recording (MER) of the STN. OBJECTIVES Optimal anesthetic management during surgery remains unclear because of a lack of quantitative data of the effect of anesthetics on MER. Therefore, we measured the effects of dexmedetomidine (DEX) on MER measures of the STN commonly taken intraoperatively. METHODS MER from 45 patients was retrospectively compared between patients treated with remifentanil (REMI) alone or both REMI and DEX, which are the 2 main standards of care at our center. The measures examined were population activity, such as root mean square, STN length, and number of passes yielding STN, and the single-neuron measures of firing rate and variability. RESULTS The addition of DEX does not affect population measures (number of passes: DEX+REMI, n = 68, REMI only, n = 154), or neuronal firing rates (number of neurons: DEX+REMI, n = 64, REMI only, n = 72), but firing rate variability was reduced. CONCLUSIONS In this cohort, population-based measures routinely used for electrode placement in the STN were unaffected by DEX when added to REMI. Neuronal firing rates were also unaffected, but their variability was reduced, even beyond 20 min after cessation.

Abstract
Adaptive behaviour entails the capacity to select actions as a function of their energy cost and expected value and the disruption of this faculty is now viewed as a possible cause of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Indirect evidence points to the involvement of the subthalamic nucleus-the most common target for deep brain stimulation in Parkinson's disease-in cost-benefit computation. However, this putative function appears at odds with the current view that the subthalamic nucleus is important for adjusting behaviour to conflict. Here we tested these contrasting hypotheses by recording the neuronal activity of the subthalamic nucleus of patients with Parkinson's disease during an effort-based decision task. Local field potentials were recorded from the subthalamic nucleus of 12 patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (mean age 63.8 years ± 6.8; mean disease duration 9.4 years ± 2.5) both OFF and ON levodopa while they had to decide whether to engage in an effort task based on the level of effort required and the value of the reward promised in return. The data were analysed using generalized linear mixed models and cluster-based permutation methods. Behaviourally, the probability of trial acceptance increased with the reward value and decreased with the required effort level. Dopamine replacement therapy increased the rate of acceptance for efforts associated with low rewards. When recording the subthalamic nucleus activity, we found a clear neural response to both reward and effort cues in the 1-10 Hz range. In addition these responses were informative of the subjective value of reward and level of effort rather than their actual quantities, such that they were predictive of the participant's decisions. OFF levodopa, this link with acceptance was weakened. Finally, we found that these responses did not index conflict, as they did not vary as a function of the distance from indifference in the acceptance decision. These findings show that low-frequency neuronal activity in the subthalamic nucleus may encode the information required to make cost-benefit comparisons, rather than signal conflict. The link between these neural responses and behaviour was stronger under dopamine replacement therapy. Our findings are consistent with the view that Parkinson's disease symptoms may be caused by a disruption of the processes involved in balancing the value of actions with their associated effort cost.

Tzu Chi Med J 2016; 28:63-67. [PMID: 28757724 PMCID: PMC5442892 DOI: 10.1016/j.tcmj.2016.02.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2015] [Revised: 02/15/2016] [Accepted: 02/18/2016] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives: Subthalamic nucleus deep-brain stimulation (STN-DBS) is suggested as a standard treatment for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and drug-related side effects. Most centers perform the operation under local anesthesia (LA) to ensure better microelectrode recording (MER). Given the advances in imaging and MER, general anesthesia (GA) is perceived as an alternative choice for PD patients undergoing STN-DBS. However, the outcomes in terms of clinical symptoms and MER after GA have rarely been reported. In this report, we compared the outcomes after STN-DBS for PD between patients receiving LA and GA. Materials and Methods: We included 16 patients with comparable severity of PD undergoing either GA (n = 8) or LA (n = 8) for STN-DBS. MER was performed in all patients for STN localization, and surgical outcomes were evaluated using the Unified PD Rating Scales, and Mini-mental status examination. All adverse effects were documented. Results: Both groups (GA and LA) acquired similar benefits from STN-DBS, and there were no significant differences in neuropsychiatric outcome analysis between groups. There were no significant differences in stimulation parameters and adverse effects from STN-DBS between groups. The GA group had a trend toward a lower frequency rate of STN firing on MER. Conclusion: Although the GA group has a lower neuronal firing frequency in the STN during surgery, STN-DBS under GA showed comparable and non-inferior outcomes as compared with STN-DBS under LA.

Anesthesiologic regimen and intraoperative delirium in deep brain stimulation surgery for Parkinson's disease. J Neurol Sci 2015; 355:168-73. [PMID: 26073485 DOI: 10.1016/j.jns.2015.06.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2014] [Revised: 05/23/2015] [Accepted: 06/07/2015] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In many centers the standard anesthesiological care for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in Parkinson's disease patients is an asleep-awake-asleep procedure. However, sedative drugs and anesthetics can compromise ventilation and hemodynamic stability during the operation and some patients develop a delirious mental state after the initial asleep phase. Further, these drugs interfere with the patient's alertness and cooperativeness, the quality of microelectrode recordings, and the recognition of undesired stimulation effects. In this study, we correlated the incidence of intraoperative delirium with the amount of anesthetics used intraoperatively. METHODS The anesthesiologic approach is based on continuous presence and care, avoidance of negative suggestions, use of positive suggestions, and utilization of the patient's own resources. Clinical data from the operations were analyzed retrospectively, the occurrence of intraoperative delirium was extracted from patients' charts. The last 16 patients undergoing the standard conscious sedation procedure (group I) were compared to the first 22 (group II) psychologically-guided patients. RESULTS The median amount of propofol decreased from 146 mg (group I) to 0mg (group II), remifentanyl from 0.70 mg to 0.00 mg, respectively (P<0.001 for propofol and remifentanyl). Using the new procedure, 12 of 22 patients (55%) in group II required no anesthetics. Intraoperative delirium was significantly less frequent in group II (P=0.03). CONCLUSIONS The occurrence of intraoperative delirium correlates with the amount of intraoperative sedative and anesthetic drugs. Sedation and powerful analgesia are not prerequisites for patients' comfort during awake-DBS-surgery.
