Parkinson Disease (PD)Deep Brain Stimulation

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease * Underwent surgery for subthalamic nucleus (STN) or ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) deep brain stimulation * Surgery performed at CHRU of Nancy * Surgery performed between 2014 (DxCare implementation) and 2024 Exclusion Criteria: * No clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease * No initial dopaminergic treatment * Surgery not performed at CHRU of Nancy * Death within 1 year following surgery

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.
