Microlesion and stimulation effects on motor symptom fluctuations in Parkinson’s disease following subthalamic deep brain stimulation
Objectives
This study aims to investigate motor symptom fluctuations associated with microlesion effects (MLE) and stimulation in the short term following subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) surgery for Parkinson’s disease (PD).
Materials and Methods
A total of 54 PD patients who underwent bilateral STN-DBS surgery were included in this study. Total motor symptoms were evaluated preoperatively, one week postoperatively, and one month postoperatively. These scores were analyzed to evaluate motor symptom fluctuations due to microlesion and stimulation effects, along with associated factors.
Results
Among the participants, 48 patients (88.89%) exhibited MLE-related improvements in motor symptoms one week after surgery, with an average symptom improvement of 45.92%. At one month post-surgery, 27 patients (50.00%) demonstrated MLE-related improvements in motor symptoms, with an average improvement of 27.08%. Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that preoperative tremor subscores were positively correlated with MLE at both one week and one month, while the preoperative Parkinson’s Disease Sleep Scale (PDSS) score was positively correlated with MLE at one week. Stimulation effects, measured one month postoperatively with the stimulator activated, resulted in an overall motor symptom improvement of 35.21%. No significant differences were observed in stimulation-induced improvements between patients with and without MLE at one week or one month.
Conclusions
This case series demonstrated that the efficacy of stimulation one month postoperatively was not correlated with postoperative MLE in PD patients who underwent STN-DBS surgery. However, patients with more severe preoperative tremor symptoms exhibited greater MLE at both one week and one month postoperatively.
