Abstract

Background: Essential tremor (ET) patients present with both motor and non-motor symptoms including depression. Although deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) is used to treat motor symptoms of ET, there is no consensus as to how VIM DBS influences non-motor symptoms, specifically depression.

Objective: The objective of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis of available studies investigating change in pre- to postoperative depression scores as measured by Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) in ET patients receiving VIM DBS.

Methods: Inclusion criteria were randomized control trials or observational studies of patients undergoing unilateral/bilateral VIM DBS. Non-ET patients, case reports, patients <18 years old, only non-VIM electrode placement, non-English articles, and abstracts were excluded. The primary outcome was change in BDI score from the preoperative time point to the last available follow-up. Pooled estimates of overall effect for BDI standardized mean difference were calculated using random effects models with the inverse variance method.

Results: Seven studies divided into eight cohorts for a total of 281 ET patients met inclusion criteria. Pooled preoperative BDI score was 12.44 (95% CI [6.63-18.25]). A statistically significant decrease in depression scores was observed postoperatively (SMD = -0.29, 95% CI [-0.46 to -0.13], p = 0.0006). Pooled postoperative BDI score was 9.18 (95% CI [4.98-13.38]). A supplementary analysis which included an additional study with an estimated standard deviation at last follow-up was conducted. There was also a statistically significant decrease in depression postoperatively (9 cohorts, n = 352, SMD = -0.31, 95% CI [-0.46 to -0.16], p < 0.0001).

Conclusions: Both quantitative and qualitative analyses of the existing literature suggest that VIM DBS improves depression postoperatively among ET patients. These results may guide surgical risk-benefit analysis and counseling for ET patients undergoing VIM DBS.

腹侧中核深部脑刺激治疗特发性震颤后抑郁评分:一项荟萃分析。

背景:特发性震颤(ET)患者表现为运动和非运动症状，包括抑郁。虽然深部脑刺激(DBS)腹侧中间核(VIM)被用于治疗ET的运动症状，但对于VIM DBS如何影响非运动症状，特别是抑郁症，尚无共识。目的:本研究的目的是对接受VIM DBS的ET患者进行贝克抑郁量表(BDI)测量的术前至术后抑郁评分的变化进行荟萃分析。方法:纳入标准为接受单侧/双侧VIM DBS患者的随机对照试验或观察性研究。非ET患者，病例报告，患者结果:7项研究分为8个队列，共281例ET患者符合纳入标准。术前BDI评分为12.44 (95% CI[6.63-18.25])。术后抑郁评分显著降低(SMD = -0.29, 95% CI [-0.46 ~ -0.13]， p = 0.0006)。术后BDI总分为9.18 (95% CI[4.98-13.38])。进行了一项补充分析，其中包括最后随访时估计标准差的额外研究。术后抑郁症发生率降低也有统计学意义(9个队列，n = 352, SMD = -0.31, 95% CI [-0.46 ~ -0.16]， p < 0.0001)。结论:现有文献的定量和定性分析均表明，VIM DBS可改善ET患者术后抑郁。这些结果可以指导接受VIM DBS的ET患者的手术风险-收益分析和咨询。

期刊介绍： ''Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery'' provides a single source for the reader to keep abreast of developments in the most rapidly advancing subspecialty within neurosurgery. Technological advances in computer-assisted surgery, robotics, imaging and neurophysiology are being applied to clinical problems with ever-increasing rapidity in stereotaxis more than any other field, providing opportunities for new approaches to surgical and radiotherapeutic management of diseases of the brain, spinal cord, and spine. Issues feature advances in the use of deep-brain stimulation, imaging-guided techniques in stereotactic biopsy and craniotomy, stereotactic radiosurgery, and stereotactically implanted and guided radiotherapeutics and biologicals in the treatment of functional and movement disorders, brain tumors, and other diseases of the brain. Background information from basic science laboratories related to such clinical advances provides the reader with an overall perspective of this field. Proceedings and abstracts from many of the key international meetings furnish an overview of this specialty available nowhere else. ''Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery'' meets the information needs of both investigators and clinicians in this rapidly advancing field.
