Self-adjustment of deep brain stimulation delays optimization in Parkinson’s disease

Background: Parkinson’s Disease patients undergo time-consuming programming to refine stimulation parameters after deep brain stimulation surgery. Objective: To assess whether the use of the advanced functions of a patient’s programmer would facilitate programming of deep brain stimulation. Methods:...

Edmond J. Safra Program in Parkinson’s Disease, Morton and Gloria Shulman Movement Disorders Clinic, Toronto Western Hospital, UHN, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.Background: Parkinson’s Disease patients undergo time-consuming programming to refine stimulation parameters after deep brain stimulation surgery. Objective: To assess whether the use of the advanced functions of a patient’s programmer would facilitate programming of deep brain stimulation. Methods: Thirty patients were randomly allocated to the use of advanced versus simple mode of the patient programmer in this single-centre, prospective, randomized, controlled study. Primary outcome was the number of days required to optimize the stimulation settings. Results: The number of days required to optimize stimulation was significantly lower in the simple mode (88.5 ± 33.1 vs. 142.1 ± 67.4, p = 0.01). In addition, the advanced mode group had a higher number of side effects (5.4 ± 3.1 vs. 2.6 ± 1.9, p = 0.0055). Conclusions: The use of the advanced functions of patient programmer delays programming optimization and it is associated with a higher number of side effects. These findings highlight the need for other methods for faster and safer stimulation programming.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1935861X21000711Deep brain stimulationParkinson diseaseSurgeryTherapyProgramming
