The efficacy and safety of asleep and awake subthalamic deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease patients: A 1-year follow-up. Front Aging Neurosci 2023; 15:1120468. [PMID: 37143693 PMCID: PMC10153089 DOI: 10.3389/fnagi.2023.1120468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2022] [Accepted: 03/10/2023] [Indexed: 05/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Traditional DBS is usually conducted under local anesthesia (LA) which is intolerable to some patients, DBS under general anesthesia (GA) was opted to extended surgical indication. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of bilateral subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) for Parkinson's disease (PD) under asleep and awake anesthesia state in 1-year postoperative follow-up. Methods Twenty-one PD patients were assigned to asleep group and 25 patients to awake group. Patients received bilateral STN-DBS under different anesthesia state. The PD participants were interviewed and assessed preoperatively and at 1-year postoperative follow-up. Results At 1-year follow-up, compared surgical coordinate in two groups, the left-side Y of asleep group showed more posterior than awake group (Y was-2.39 ± 0.23 in asleep group, -1.46 ± 0.22 in awake group, p = 0.007). Compared with preoperative OFF MED state, MDS-UPDRS III scores in OFF MED/OFF STIM state remained unchanged, while in OFF MED/ON STIM state were significantly improved in awake and asleep groups, yet without significant difference. Compared with preoperative ON MED state, MDS-UPDRS III scores in ON MED/OFF STIM, and ON MED/ON STIM state remained unchanged in both groups. In non-motor outcomes, PSQI, HAMD, and HAMA score significantly improved in asleep group compared to awake group at 1-year follow-up (PSQI, HAMD, and HAMA score in 1-year follow-up were 9.81 ± 4.43; 10.00 ± 5.80; 5.71 ± 4.75 in awake group, 6.64 ± 4.14; 5.32 ± 3.78; 3.76 ± 3.87 in asleep group, p = 0.009; 0.008; 0.015, respectively), while there was no significant difference in PDQ-39, NMSS, ESS, PDSS score, and cognitive function. Anesthesia methods was significantly associated with improvement of HAMA and HAMD score (p = 0.029; 0.002, respectively). No difference in LEDD, stimulation parameters and adverse events was observed between two groups. Discussion Asleep STN-DBS may be considered a good alternative method for PD patients. It is largely consistent with awake STN-DBS in motor symptoms and safety. Yet, it showed higher improvement in terms of mood and sleep compared to awake group at 1-year follow-up.

Evers J, Lowery M. The Active Electrode in the Living Brain: The Response of the Brain Parenchyma to Chronically Implanted Deep Brain Stimulation Electrodes. Oper Neurosurg (Hagerstown) 2021; 20:131-140. [PMID: 33074305 DOI: 10.1093/ons/opaa326] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2020] [Accepted: 08/10/2020] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Deep brain stimulation is an established symptomatic surgical therapy for Parkinson disease, essential tremor, and a number of other movement and neuropsychiatric disorders. The well-established foreign body response around implanted electrodes is marked by gliosis, neuroinflammation, and neurodegeneration. However, how this response changes with the application of chronic stimulation is less well-understood. OBJECTIVE To integrate the most recent evidence from basic science, patient, and postmortem studies on the effect of such an "active" electrode on the parenchyma of the living brain. METHODS A thorough and in-part systematic literature review identified 49 papers. RESULTS Increased electrode-tissue impedance is consistently observed in the weeks following electrode implantation, stabilizing at approximately 3 to 6 mo. Lower impedance values are observed around stimulated implanted electrodes when compared with unstimulated electrodes. A temporary reduction in impedance has also been observed in response to stimulation in nonhuman primates. Postmortem studies from patients confirm the presence of a fibrous sheath, astrocytosis, neuronal loss, and neuroinflammation in the immediate vicinity of the electrode. When comparing stimulated and unstimulated electrodes directly, there is some evidence across animal and patient studies of altered neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation around stimulated electrodes. CONCLUSION Establishing how stimulation influences the electrical and histological properties of the surrounding tissue is critical in understanding how these factors contribute to DBS efficacy, and in controlling symptoms and side effects. Understanding these complex issues will aid in the development of future neuromodulation systems that are optimized for the tissue environment and required stimulation protocols.

Long-term efficacy and cognitive effects of voltage-based deep brain stimulation for drug-resistant essential tremor. Clin Neurol Neurosurg 2020; 194:105940. [PMID: 32480294 DOI: 10.1016/j.clineuro.2020.105940] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2020] [Revised: 05/16/2020] [Accepted: 05/17/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyze the long-term efficacy and cognitive effects of voltage-based deep brain stimulation (DBS) for drug-resistant essential tremor (ET). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with drug-resistant ET and treated by voltage-based DBS of the ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM-DBS) were continuously enrolled. Seizure outcomes were assessed by blinded observers using the Tremor Rating Scale (TRS). The full-scale intelligence quotient, full-scale memory quotient, Hamilton Depression Scale, Hamilton Anxiety Scale, and Quality of Life in Essential Tremor Questionnaire were assessed as measures of cognitive function. RESULTS Eleven patients met the inclusion criteria, and two of them were excluded because of loss to follow-up. The patient follow-up times ranged from 48 to 66 months (median 51 months). TRS scores decreased by 60.4% and 46.0% at the 12- and 48-month follow-ups, respectively. Both changes were highly significant. During the follow-up period, the patients' intelligence and memory had not significantly changed; depression, anxiety, and quality of life significantly improved. After long-term follow-up, the stimulation efficacy and quality of life gradually decreased, and the depression and anxiety levels increased. CONCLUSION For patients with drug-resistant ET, voltage-based DBS can provide acceptable benefits on tremor, cognitive function, and quality of life. However, the efficacy of VIM-DBS decreased over time.
