Study Summary
There is a growing trend in functional neurosurgery toward direct anatomical targeting for deep brain stimulation (DBS). This study describes a method and reports the initial experience placing DBS electrodes under general anesthesia without the use of microelectrode recordings (MER), using a portable head CT scanner to verify accuracy intra-operatively.
Primary Outcome
A movement disorders clinician who had completed the Movement Disorder Society's Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) training performed prospective baseline and 6-month postoperative assessments of motor function using the MDS modified UPDRS III on patients during both off-medication (PD medications held for 12 h) and on-medication states. UPDRS III motor scores range from 0 (no motor function deficit) to 132 (highest motor function deficit). There were no subscales.
