Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease: A Delphi Consensus Study.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

If history teaches, as cardiac pacing moved from fixed-rate to on-demand delivery in in 80s of the last century, there are high probabilities that closed-loop and adaptive approaches will become, in the next decade, the natural evolution of conventional Deep Brain Stimulation (cDBS). However, while devices for aDBS are already available for clinical use, few data on their clinical application and technological limitations are available so far. In such scenario, gathering the opinion and expertise of leading investigators worldwide would boost and guide practice and research, thus grounding the clinical development of aDBS.

Observations

We identified clinical and academically experienced DBS clinicians (n=21) to discuss the challenges related to aDBS. A 5-point Lik
