The Related Factors and Effect of Electrode Displacement on Motor Outcome of Subthalamic Nuclei Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies have revealed the existence of electrode displacement during subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS). However, the effect of electrode displacement on treatment outcomes is still unclear. In this study, we aimed to analyze the related factors of electrode displacement and assess postoperative electrode displacement in relation to the motor outcomes of STN-DBS.

Methods

A total of 88 patients aged 62.73 ± 6.35 years (55 males and 33 females) with Parkinson's disease undergoing STN-DBS, with comprehensive clinical characterization before and 1 month after surgery, were involved retrospectively and divided into a cross-incision group and cannula puncture group according to different dura opening methods. The electrode displacement, unilat
