Effect of Scalp Nerve Block Combined with Intercostal Nerve Block on the Quality of Recovery in Patients with Parkinson's Disease after Deep Brain Stimulation: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Parkinson's disease (PD) patients who receive deep brain stimulation (DBS) have a higher risk of postoperative pain, which will affect their postoperative quality of recovery (QoR). Scalp nerve block (SNB) and intercostal nerve block (ICNB) can alleviate postoperative pain, yet their effect on postoperative QoR in PD patients has proven to be unclear. Therefore, we have aimed to explore the effect of SNB paired with ICNB on postoperative QoR.

Methods

To explore the effect, we have designed a randomized controlled trial in which 88 patients with PD will be randomly assigned to either an SNB group or control group, receiving either SNB combined with ICNB or without before surgery. The primary outcome will be a 15-item QoR score at 24 h after surgery. The secondary o
