Effect of Deep Brain Stimulation on Neuropsychiatric Fluctuations in Patients With Parkinson's Disease (PSYCHOSTIM)

October 29, 2020 updated by: University Hospital, Grenoble

Effect of Bilateral Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation on Neuropsychiatric Fluctuations in Patients With Parkinson's Disease, Evaluated With a New, Dedicated Scale

Retrospective, monocentric, observational study designed to evaluate the effects of Bilateral Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS STN) on Neuropsychiatric fluctuations in Patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD)

Study Overview

Status

Completed

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

Pre-operative versus 12-Month Follow-Up analysis of changing in Neuropsychiatric Fluctuations Scale (NFS) score in preoperative versus postoperative MED OFF (during acute withdrawal of dopaminergic therapy) and MED ON (during super-liminal Levodopa dose) conditions. Postoperative evaluations are always performed with DBS turned on and stimulating (STIM ON)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Effectiveness of DBS for Neuropsychiatric Fluctuations
Time Frame: 12 months after surgery
Improvement of Neuropsychiatric Fluctuation Scale (NFS) Score between preoperative MED ON and MED OFF conditions versus postoperative MED ON-STIM ON and MED OFF-STIM ON conditions. NFS ON and OFF med scores are independent and they ranges from -30 to +30. Positive scores represent good outcomes (good feelings, non OFF neuropsychiatric symptoms), whereas negative scores denote the presence of negative feelings in a quantity exceeding the positive ones
12 months after surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Preoperative and Postoperative demographical and clinical factors linked to a post-surgical change in Neuropsychiatric Fluctuations
Time Frame: 12 months

Changing in pre-post op NFS scores correlated with:

  • Demographic and Clinical data: age, sex, disease duration, side onset, clinical phenotype, years passed with fluctuations, comorbidities, psychiatric history not linked to the disease or its treatment, psychiatric complications of dopaminergic therapy
  • Dopaminergic treatment data: years of therapy with Levodopa, percentage of motor improvement with Levodopa-test, pre and postoperative LEDD, changing in psychiatric treatment (doses and number of medications)
  • Perioperative variables: type of anaesthesia, perioperative complications
  • DBS parameters: stimulation type, plots selected, amplitude, rate, duration of impulse, stereo tactical coordinates of electrodes, stimulator type (rechargeable, not rechargeable)
12 months
Neuropsychiatric Fluctuations, Cognitive and Psychiatric state
Time Frame: 12 months

Changing in pre-postop NFS scores correlated with:

  • Cognitive evaluation scales (Mattis Scale, Score Frontal, Wisconsin Card Sorting Test - WCST, Luria manual sequencing task)
  • Psychiatric evaluation scales (Beck Depression Scale - BDI-II, Evaluation Comportamentale dans la Maladie de Parkinson - ECMP, Starkstein Apathy Scale)
12 months
Neuropsychiatric Fluctuations, preoperative and postoperative motor status
Time Frame: 12 months

Changing in pre-postop NFS scores correlated with:

  • Preoperative UPDRS III Score (total score, sub scores of tremor, rigidity, akinesia, parole, posture-gait-instability) in MED ON and MED OFF conditions
  • Changing in UPDRS III Scores (total and sub scores) in preoperative MED ON and MED OFF conditions versus postoperative MED ON STIM ON and MED OFF STIM ON conditions
12 months
Neuropsychiatric Fluctuations and other Nonmotor Symptoms
Time Frame: 12 months

Changing in pre-postop NFS scores correlated with:

- Changing in MDS-UPDRS scores and sub scores (total, section I, section II, section IV)

12 months
Neuropsychiatric Fluctuations and Dopaminergic Therapy
Time Frame: 12 Months

Changing in pre-postop NFS scores correlated with:

- Preoperative versus postoperative Levodopa equivalent dose (LEDD)

12 Months
