Image-guided programming deep brain stimulation improves clinical outcomes in patients with Parkinson's disease.

ABSTRACT: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective treatment for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, some patients may not respond optimally to clinical programming adjustments. Advances in DBS technology have led to more complex and time-consuming programming. Image-guided programming (IGP) could optimize and improve programming leading to better clinical outcomes in patients for whom DBS programming is not ideal due to sub-optimal response. We conducted a prospective single-center study including 31 PD patients with subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS and suboptimal responses refractory to clinical programming. Programming settings were adjusted according to the volumetric reconstruction of the stimulation field using commercial postoperative imaging software. Clinical outcomes were ass
