Directional Local Field Potentials: A Tool to Optimize Deep Brain Stimulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Although recently introduced directional DBS leads provide control of the stimulation field, programing is time-consuming. OBJECTIVES Here, we validate local field potentials recorded from directional contacts as a predictor of the most efficient contacts for stimulation in patients with PD. METHODS Intraoperative local field potentials were recorded from directional contacts in the STN of 12 patients and beta activity compared with the results of the clinical contact review performed after 4 to 7 months. RESULTS Normalized beta activity was positively correlated with the contact's clinical efficacy. The two contacts with the highest beta activity included the most efficient stimulation contact in up to 92% and that with the widest therapeutic window in 74% of cases. CONCLUSION Local field potentials predict the most efficient stimulation contacts and may provide a useful tool to expedite the selection of the optimal contact for directional DBS. © 2017 The Authors.

O10: Deep Brain Stimulation and Psychiatry
The use of deep brain stimulation in psychiatric disorders has received great interest owing to the small risk of the operation, the reversible nature of the technique, and the possibility of optimizing treatment postoperatively. Currently deep brain stimulation in psychiatry is investigated for obsessive-compulsive disorder, Gilles de la Tourette’s syndrome and major depression. This presentat...
متن کاملControl of epileptic seizures by electrical low frequency deep brain stimulation: A review of probable mechanisms
Epilepsy is the most common neurological disease with no definitive method in treatment. Notably, the main way to treat and control epileptic seizures is drug therapy. However, about 20-30% of patients with epilepsy are drug resistant and require other therapeutic manners. Deep brain stimulation is a new therapeutic strategy for these patients. Conspicuously, there are no clear answers for basi...
متن کاملPhase-dependent modulation as a novel approach for therapeutic brain stimulation
Closed-loop paradigms provide us with the opportunity to optimize stimulation protocols for perturbation of pathological oscillatory activity in brain-related disorders. In this vein, spiking activity of motor cortex neurons and beta activity of local field potentials in the subthalamic nucleus have both been used independently of each other as neuronal signals to trigger deep brain stimulation...
متن کاملThe effects of levodopa and deep brain stimulation on subthalamic local field low-frequency oscillations in Parkinson's disease.
New adaptive systems for deep brain stimulation (DBS) could in the near future optimize stimulation settings online so as to achieve better control over the clinical fluctuations in Parkinson's disease (PD). Local field potentials (LFPs) recorded from the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in PD patients show that levodopa and DBS modulate STN oscillations. Because previous research has shown that levod...
متن کاملPosteroventrolateral pallidotomy through implanted DBS electrodes monitored by recording local field potentials.
This paper describes the use of globus pallidus internus (Gpi) local field potentials recorded through pre-implanted deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes on a patient affected by generalized dystonia. The recordings were made both before and after radiofrequency-induced posteroventrolateral bilateral stereotactic pallidotomy. LFP patterns and macroelectrode impedances were modified after the...
