A systematic review of brain morphometry related to deep brain stimulation outcome in Parkinson's disease.

ABSTRACT: While the efficacy of deep brain stimulation (DBS) is well-established in Parkinson's Disease (PD), the benefit of DBS varies across patients. Using imaging features for outcome prediction offers potential in improving effectiveness, whereas the value of presurgical brain morphometry, derived from the routinely used imaging modality in surgical planning, remains under-explored. This review provides a comprehensive investigation of links between DBS outcomes and brain morphometry features in PD. We systematically searched PubMed and Embase databases and retrieved 793 articles, of which 25 met inclusion criteria and were reviewed in detail. A majority of studies (24/25), including 1253 of 1316 patients, focused on the outcome of DBS targeting the subthalamic nucleus (STN), while five studies
