About DBS for Parkinson's Disease
Deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease places electrodes in the brain to smooth tremor, stiffness and medicine-related swings in movement. It suits people who still respond well to levodopa.
Electrodes are placed in a target such as the subthalamic nucleus or globus pallidus, guided by MRI and often with the patient awake to test the response. They connect under the skin to a pulse generator in the chest. Stimulation is switched on a few weeks later and then programmed gradually, usually alongside a review of Parkinson's medicines.
Usually a good fit if
- Parkinson's disease with a clear levodopa response but disabling wearing-off or dyskinesias.
- Tremor that is not adequately controlled by medicine.
- Good general health without significant dementia.
- Patients who can attend programming visits.
May need to wait if
- Poor response to levodopa, or atypical parkinsonism such as multiple system atrophy.
- Dementia or significant memory impairment.
- Severe untreated depression or psychosis.
- Active infection or bleeding disorder.
How to prepare
- Bring your MRI, a list of Parkinson's medicines with doses, and a diary of on and off times.
- Do not change levodopa or other medicines unless your neurologist instructs you, since a levodopa response test is often done before surgery.
- Expect MRI, movement-disorder, memory and mood assessments.
- Have infections, including dental, treated before surgery.
- Plan for repeated programming visits for months afterwards.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Am I a good candidate based on my levodopa test and symptoms?
- Which target, subthalamic or pallidal, suits my symptoms, and why?
- What device will you use, is it rechargeable, and is it MRI conditional?
- How many DBS operations for Parkinson's do you perform each year?
- What are the risks to speech, mood and cognition?
- Who will programme the device when I am home?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- No levodopa response testing or movement-disorder neurologist involved.
- Offering DBS for atypical parkinsonism without clear explanation.
- No programming and follow-up plan once home.
- Promises of a cure or stopping disease progression.
