Huh R, Chung M, Jang I. Outcome of pallidal deep brain stimulation for treating isolated orofacial dystonia. Acta Neurochir (Wien) 2022; 164:2287-2298. [PMID: 35896828 DOI: 10.1007/s00701-022-05320-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2021] [Accepted: 07/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Isolated orofacial dystonia is a rare segmental neurological disorder that affects the eye, mouth, face, and jaws. Current literature on pallidal surgery for orofacial dystonia is limited to case reports and small-scale studies. This study was to investigate clinical outcomes of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus internus (GPi) in patients with isolated orofacial dystonia. METHODS Thirty-six patients who underwent GPi DBS at Incheon St. Mary's Hospital, The Catholic University of Korea, between 2014 and 2019 were included in this study. Burke-Fahn-Marsden Dystonia Rating Scale, Unified Dystonia Rating Scale, and Global Dystonia Severity Rating Scale were retrospectively retrieved for analysis before surgery, at 6-month follow-up as short-term outcome, and at follow-up over 1 year (12 months to 69 months) as long-term results. RESULTS Mean total BFMDRS-M scores at the three time points (baseline, 6 months, and over 1 year follow-up) were 11.6 ± 4.9, 6.1 ± 5.2 (50.3 ± 29.9% improvement, p < 0.05), and 4.3 ± 4.2 (65.0 ± 24.2% improvement, p < 0.05), respectively. In terms of UDRS and GDS, improvement rates were 45.1% (p < 0.001) and 47.7% (p < 0.001) at 6 months, and 63.8% (p < 0.001) and 65.7% (p < 0.001) at over 1 year after surgery, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Bilateral GPi DBS in isolated orofacial dystonia can be effective if conservative treatment option fails. Its benefit is not only observed in a short term, but also maintained in a long-term follow-up.

[PMID: 33888857 PMCID: PMC8062505 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-88384-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2020] [Accepted: 04/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Deep-brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective treatment for patients with Meige syndrome. The globus pallidus interna (GPi) and the subthalamic nucleus (STN) are accepted targets for this treatment. We compared 12-month outcomes for patients who had undergone bilateral stimulation of the GPi or STN. Forty-two Asian patients with primary Meige syndrome who underwent GPi or STN neurostimulation were recruited between September 2017 and September 2019 at the Department of Neurosurgery, Peking University People's Hospital. The primary outcome was the change in motor function, including the Burke-Fahn-Marsden Dystonia Rating Scale movement (BFMDRS-M) and disability subscale (BFMDRS-D) at 3 days before DBS (baseline) surgery and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Secondary outcomes included health-related quality of life, sleep quality status, depression severity, and anxiety severity at 3 days before and 12 months after DBS surgery. Adverse events during the 12 months were also recorded. Changes in BFMDRS-M and BFMDRS-D scores at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months with DBS and without medication did not significantly differ based on the stimulation target. There were also no significant differences in the changes in health-related quality of life (36-Item Short-Form General Health Survey) and sleep quality status (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) at 12 months. However, there were larger improvements in the STN than the GPi group in mean score changes on the 17-item Hamilton depression rating scale (- 3.38 vs. - 0.33 points; P = 0.014) and 14-item Hamilton anxiety rating scale (- 3.43 vs. - 0.19 points; P < 0.001). There were no significant between-group differences in the frequency or type of serious adverse events. Patients with Meige syndrome had similar improvements in motor function, quality of life and sleep after either pallidal or subthalamic stimulation. Depression and anxiety factors may reasonably be included during the selection of DBS targets for Meige syndrome.

Efficacy and safety of general anesthesia deep brain stimulation for dystonia: an individual patient data meta-analysis of 341 cases. Neurol Sci 2021; 42:2661-2671. [PMID: 33855621 DOI: 10.1007/s10072-021-05214-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2021] [Accepted: 03/20/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The efficacy and safety of deep brain stimulation (DBS) under general anesthesia for the treatment of dystonia have not yet been confirmed with high level of evidence. This meta-analysis with pooled individual patient data aims to assess the clinical outcomes and identify the potential prognostic factors of dystonia patients who underwent general anesthesia DBS. METHODS We searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase for articles describing patients with dystonia who underwent asleep DBS and had individual Burke-Fahn-Marsden Dystonia Rating Scale (BFMDRS) scores. The relative improvement in BFMDRS scores was considered the primary outcome. Pearson correlation analyses and multivariate linear regression analysis were conducted to explore the prognostic factors. RESULTS A total of 34 studies involving 341 patients were included. The mean postoperative improvement in BFMDRS-M (BFMDRS movement subscale) and BFMDRS-D (BFMDRS disability subscale) scores were 58.6±36.2% and 48.5±38.7% at the last follow-up visit, respectively, with a mean follow-up time of 22.4±27.6 months. Age at surgery and disease duration showed a negative correlation with the percent improvement of BFMDRS-M (%) at the last visit (r=-0.134, P=0.013; r=-0.165, P=0.006). In the stepwise multivariate regression, only disease duration remained a relevant factor. Additionally, the adverse events were acceptable. CONCLUSION General anesthesia DBS is a safe, effective, and feasible option for dystonia patients in the long term. Shorter disease duration predicts better clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Meige syndrome (MS) is cranial dystonia characterized by the combination of upper and lower cranial involvement and including binocular eyelid spasms (blepharospasm; BSP) and involuntary movements of the jaw muscles (oromandibular dystonia; OMD). The etiology and pathogenesis of this disorder of the extrapyramidal system are not well-understood. Neurologic and ophthalmic examinations often reveal no abnormalities, making diagnosis difficult and often resulting in misdiagnosis. A small proportion of patients have a family history of the disease, but to date no causative genes have been identified to date and no cure is available, although botulinum toxin A therapy effectively mitigates the symptoms and deep brain stimulation is gaining increasing attention as a viable alternative treatment option. Here we review the history and progress of research on MS, BSP, and OMD, as well as the etiology, pathology, diagnosis, and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective intervention for Meige syndrome, a type of dystonia characterized by blepharospasm, facial, and oromandibular dystonia. This individual patient-level data meta-analysis was to identify the potential outcome predictors, compare the stimulation targets and summarize the efficacy of DBS for Meige syndrome. METHODS Three electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science and Embase) were searched with no publication data restriction to identify studies regarding DBS for Meige syndrome. The primary outcome was the improvement in BFMDRS-M score. Pearson's correlation coefficients and a stepwise multivariate regression analysis were used to identify the potential prognostic factors. RESULTS Twenty-three studies (115 patients, 94 with pallidal stimulation and 21 with subthalamic stimulation) were eligible. Patients showed significant improvement in Burke-Fahn-Marsden Dystonia Rating Scale movement (BFMDRS-M) (21.5 ± 11.0 vs 8.6 ± 6.9, P < 0.001) and disability (BFMDRS-D) (6.4 ± 5.1 vs 2.9 ± 2.4, P < 0.001) scores at the last follow-up visit (31.9 ± 30.7 months), compared with scores at baseline. Preoperative BFMDRS-M and BFMDRS-D scores were positively correlated with the relative changes in BFMDRS-M score at the last follow-up visit. On the stepwise multivariate regression, only the preoperative BFMDRS remained significant in the best predictive model. CONCLUSIONS Based on the existing evidence, pallidal/subthalamic stimulation is an effective therapy for even the refractory Meige syndrome. Higher preoperative scores probably indicate larger improvement. Stimulation targets or other clinical factors do not constitute the outcome predictive factors.

Abstract
ABSTRACT: Deep-brain stimulation of the internal globus pallidus is a therapeutic option for dystonia. However, the available data are heterogeneous, ranging from single case reports to a few controlled studies. The outcomes are also largely heterogeneous, depending mostly on the etiology of the dystonia. Except for some well-established good indications, such as primary generalized dystonia and tardive dyskinesia, the efficacy of globus pallidus stimulation remains debated for several forms of dystonia. In addition, many issues are still unsolved, such as the best target of stimulation and the interest of simultaneously combining multiple targets of stimulation or not. Finally the efficacy of new strategies of treatment, such as cortical stimulation, remains to be determined. The aim of this review is to cover these different aspects and give an overview of the current indications and future orientations.

Abstract
The few controlled studies that have been carried out have shown that bilateral internal globus pallidum stimulation is a safe and long-term effective treatment for hyperkinetic disorders. However, most recent published data on deep brain stimulation (DBS) for dystonia, applied to different targets and patients, are still mainly from uncontrolled case reports (especially for secondary dystonia). This precludes clear determination of the efficacy of this procedure and the choice of the 'good' target for the 'good' patient. We performed a literature analysis on DBS for dystonia according to the expected outcome. We separated those with good evidence of favourable outcome from those with less predictable outcome. In the former group, we review the main results for primary dystonia (generalised/focal) and highlight recent data on myoclonus-dystonia and tardive dystonia (as they share, with primary dystonia, a marked beneficial effect from pallidal stimulation with good risk/benefit ratio). In the latter group, poor or variable results have been obtained for secondary dystonia (with a focus on heredodegenerative and metabolic disorders). From this overview, the main results and limits for each subgroup of patients that may help in the selection of dystonic patients who will benefit from DBS are discussed.
