Scalp block improves electrophysiological stability and patient cooperation during deep brain stimulation surgery.

ABSTRACT: Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a critical intervention for various neurological disorders. While effective, the traditional local infiltration anesthesia used in DBS surgeries often hinders electrophysiological recording quality and patient cooperativeness. The research aims to evaluate the impact of local infiltration versus scalp block anesthetic methods on electrophysiological signal quality and patient cooperativeness during DBS surgeries. This study involved patients who participated in an intraoperative task during the bilateral subthalamic nucleus DBS surgery for Parkinson's Disease between Jan 2020 and Dec 2022. Patients were either administered the traditional local infiltration anesthesia or the modified scalp block anesthesia. Intraoperative electrophysiological recording data
