Abstract
Background: In recent years, the incidence of Parkinson's disease has gradually increased, and the application of dopamine drugs has been limited, so there is an urgent need to explore a more effective treatment method to treat Parkinson's disease effectively treated. Subthalamic nucleus-deep brain stimulation and globus pallidus internus-deep brain Subthalamic nucleus-deep brain stimulation and globus pallidus internus-deep brain stimulation are the two treatments for Parkinson's disease. However, there is no clear conclusion as to which of these two methods is more effective.
Primary study objective: To compare the effects of deep brain stimulation in the globus pallidus internus and deep brain stimulation in the subthalamic nucleus combined with drugs for Parkinson's disease, respectively.
Methods: In order to compare the motor function, neurological function, and activities of daily living scores, the incidence of fluctuations in isokinetic and motor symptoms, changes in medication doses, and the incidence of complications between the two groups, 52 patients treated with globus pallidus internus-deep brain stimulation and 52 patients treated with subthalamic nucleus-deep brain stimulation were included.
Primary outcome measures: Using the Motor Function Examination scale of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale, patients' motor function was evaluated prior to surgery, one month after surgery, three months after surgery, and six months following surgery. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment, the Mini-mental State Examination, and the Activity of Daily Living scale were used to evaluate patients' cognitive function before and three months after surgery. The patient's dose of medication and complications were also counted, among other things.
Results: The Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale-Ⅲ scores decreased, and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Mini-mental State Examination, and Activity of Daily Living scales increased in both groups after surgery, with no difference between the two groups (P > .05). Between the two groups, there was no difference in the frequency of allodynia and motor symptom variations (P > .05). Postoperatively, the Group globus pallidus internus experienced lower medication doses and a reduced incidence of complications than the Group subthalamic nucleus (P < .05).
Conclusion: The effects of GPi-DBS and STN-DBS in treating PD are both more significant and there is no difference between them, but GPi-DBS reduces complications and medication dose, and has a higher safety profile, indicating that GPi-DBS is more suitable for clinical application and promotion. Future studies need to further explore the mechanism behind the reduction of complications and medication dose of GPi-DBS in Parkinson's disease, in order to provide better support for the clinical application of GPi-DBS.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
