Abstract
Introduction: Focused ultrasound (FUS) pallidotomy is a promising new therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD). The efficacy, motor outcomes, and side effects of FUS pallidotomy compared to radiofrequency (RF) pallidotomy are unknown.
Methods: We performed a systematic review of the outcomes and side effect profiles of FUS versus RF pallidotomy in patients with PD.
Results: Across four RF reports and one FUS report, putative contralateral UPDRS III scores were not significantly different following RF versus FUS pallidotomy. Across 18 RF and 2 FUS reports, the mean failure rate was 14% following RF pallidotomy versus 24% following FUS pallidotomy. Across 25 RF and 3 FUS reports, cognitive deficit was significantly more prevalent following RF pallidotomy (p = 0.004).
Conclusion: At present, limited data and heterogeneity in outcome reporting challenges comparisons of FUS and RF pallidotomy efficacy and safety. Available evidence suggests FUS pallidotomy may have broadly similar efficacy and a lower risk of cognitive impairment relative to RF pallidotomy. Standardized reporting of post-lesion outcomes in future studies would improve power and rule out potential confounders of these results.
期刊介绍:
''Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery'' provides a single source for the reader to keep abreast of developments in the most rapidly advancing subspecialty within neurosurgery. Technological advances in computer-assisted surgery, robotics, imaging and neurophysiology are being applied to clinical problems with ever-increasing rapidity in stereotaxis more than any other field, providing opportunities for new approaches to surgical and radiotherapeutic management of diseases of the brain, spinal cord, and spine. Issues feature advances in the use of deep-brain stimulation, imaging-guided techniques in stereotactic biopsy and craniotomy, stereotactic radiosurgery, and stereotactically implanted and guided radiotherapeutics and biologicals in the treatment of functional and movement disorders, brain tumors, and other diseases of the brain. Background information from basic science laboratories related to such clinical advances provides the reader with an overall perspective of this field. Proceedings and abstracts from many of the key international meetings furnish an overview of this specialty available nowhere else. ''Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery'' meets the information needs of both investigators and clinicians in this rapidly advancing field.
