Abstract
Background: Since their introduction in 2015, directional leads have practically replaced conventional leads for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson's disease (PD). Yet, the benefits of directional DBS (dDBS) over omnidirectional DBS (oDBS) remain unclear. This meta-analysis and systematic review compares the literature on dDBS and oDBS for PD.
Methods: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were followed. Database searches included Pubmed, Cochrane (CENTRAL) and EmBase, using relevant keywords such as 'directional', 'segmented', 'brain stimulation' and 'neuromodulation'. The screening was based on the title and abstract.
Results: 23 papers reporting on 1273 participants (1542 leads) were included. The therapeutic window was 0.70 mA wider when using dDBS (95% CI 0.13 to 1.26 mA, p=0.02), with a lower therapeutic current (0.41 mA, 95% CI 0.27 to 0.54 mA, p=0.01) and a higher side-effect threshold (0.56 mA, 95% CI 0.38 to 0.73 mA, p<0.01). However, there was no relevant difference in mean Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale III change after dDBS (45.8%, 95% CI 30.7% to 60.9%) compared with oDBS (39.0%, 95% CI 36.9% to 41.2%, p=0.39), in the medication-OFF state. Median follow-up time for dDBS and oDBS studies was 6 months and 3 months, respectively (range 3-12 for both). The use of directionality often improves dyskinesia, dysarthria, dysesthesia and pyramidal side effects. Directionality was used in 55% of directional leads at 3-6 months, remaining stable over time (56% at a mean of 14.1 months).
Conclusions: These findings suggest that stimulation parameters favour dDBS. However, these do not appear to have a significant impact on motor scores, and the availability of long-term data is limited. dDBS is widely accepted, but clinical data justifying its increased complexity and cost are currently sparse.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry (JNNP) aspires to publish groundbreaking and cutting-edge research worldwide. Covering the entire spectrum of neurological sciences, the journal focuses on common disorders like stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, peripheral neuropathy, subarachnoid haemorrhage, and neuropsychiatry, while also addressing complex challenges such as ALS. With early online publication, regular podcasts, and an extensive archive collection boasting the longest half-life in clinical neuroscience journals, JNNP aims to be a trailblazer in the field.
