Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this study is to compare the surgical outcome of deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in patients who are deeply sedated, "asleep," or not sedated, "awake," during surgical implantation of the DBS electrode. The investigators hypothesize that the clinical outcome, neurophysiological findings, and surgical accuracy will be equivalent. There are 3 specific aims: 1) compare the activity of the neurons in the patients' brain in the asleep and awake groups using microelectrode recording, to see how this affects clinical outcome capability of microelectrode recordings and macrostimulation to identify the subthalamic nucleus in asleep patients. 2) Determine if intraoperative CT scans of the DBS electrode is sufficient for accurate DBS electrode placement. 3) Compare the clinical outcome on their Parkinson's disease between awake and asleep DBS patients.
