Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Physiology-guided deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery requires patients to be awake during a portion of the procedure, which may be poorly tolerated. Interventional MRI-guided (iMRI) DBS surgery was developed to use real-time image guidance, obviating the need for patients to be awake during lead placement. METHODS: All English-speaking adults with PD who underwent iMRI DBS between 2010 and 2014 at our Center were invited to participate. Subjects completed a structured interview that explored perioperative preferences and experiences. We compared these responses to patients who underwent the physiology-guided method, matched for age and gender. RESULTS: Eighty-nine people with PD completed the study. Of those, 40 underwent iMRI, 44 underwent physiology-guided implantation, and five underwent both methods. There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between groups. The primary reason for choosing iMRI DBS was a preference to be asleep during implantation due to: 1) a history of claustrophobia; 2) concerns about the potential for discomfort during the awake physiology-guided procedure in those with an underlying pain syndrome or severe off-medication symptoms; or 3) non-specific fear about being awake during neurosurgery. CONCLUSION: Participants were satisfied with both DBS surgery methods. However, identification of the factors associated with a preference for iMRI DBS may allow for optimization of patient experience and satisfaction when choices of surgical methods for DBS implantation are available.
