One-Year Effect on Levodopa Equivalent Daily Dose of Thalamic VIM Nucleus Stimulation Compared to Subthalamic Nucleus Stimulation in Patients With Parkinson's Disease
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
This study compares the effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the thalamic VIM nucleus versus the subthalamic nucleus (STN) on the levodopa equivalent daily dose (LEDD) in patients with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to determine whether VIM stimulation, typically used for tremor, can also reduce medication needs. It hypothesizes that STN stimulation leads to greater LEDD reduction, but VIM may offer moderate benefits in selected case
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Change in the levodopa equivalent daily dose (LEDD) between Parkinson's disease patients undergoing deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting the VIM thalamic nucleus versus the STN. — The primary endpoint, which is the change in levodopa equivalent daily dose (LEDD), will be measured one year post-surgery in both the VIM and STN DBS groups.
To compare the one-year change in the levodopa equivalent daily dose (LEDD) between Parkinson's disease patients undergoing deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting the VIM thalamic nucleus versus the STN.
