Brief Summary

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established procedure for the symptomatic treatment of Parkinson's disease. This procedure performed in two steps using electrophysiology. This study is a prospective, randomized and monocentric study to compare two DBS procedures with or without electrophysiology. A better control of targeting and trajectory is necessary before not using electrophysiology, which is the reference procedure. A new definition of sub thalamic nuclei with new MRI stereotactic landmarks, the use of surgical robot (Neuromata Renishaw) and the use of operative imaging (O-arm) could allow the implantation of electrode in sub-thalamic nuclei without the need of electrophysiology. Two groups of patients will be followed: a first group of patients with a procedure under general anesthesia alone without electrophysiological stimulation and a second smaller group of patients with a first step of electrode implantation under awake surgery with electrophysiological stimulation followed by a second step under general anesthesia for the implantation of stimulator. Clinical results will be assessed at 6 months after implantation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • the ratio of preoperative and postoperative UPDRS 3 score

    The primary outcome is defined after six months of sub-thalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation with the ratio of preoperative and postoperative UPDRS 3 score. The ratio is : (post operative UPDRS 3 OFF medicine and OFF stimulation- post operative UPDRS 3 OFF medicine ON stimulation)/(post operative UPDRS 3 OFF medicine OFF stimulation)

    6 month

Secondary Outcomes (16)

  • Stimulation efficacy

    6 month

  • The variance of improvement mean for the "high precision" technique

    6 month

  • Percentage of patients with an improvement of UPDRS III score

    6 month

  • The Calculated preoperative and post operative (6 months) equivalent dose of L-DOPA and the decrease of between preoperative and post operative period (6 months).

    6 month

  • Percentage of patients with failure of the new surgical technique defined with an improvement of less than 35 % with the UPDRS 3 score and an electrode located more than 4 mm from the target

    6 month

  • +11 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

New targeting procedure without electrophysiology

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients with the high precision procedure under general anesthesia alone without electrophysiological stimulation

Procedure: New targeting procedure without electrophysiology

Classical neurosurgical procedure

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

patients with a first step of electrode implantation under awake surgery with electrophysiological control followed by a second step under general anesthesia

Procedure: Classical neurosurgical procedure

Interventions

It is a neurosurgical procedure of electrodes implantation in the sub thalamic nuclei under general anaesthesia using a new targeting procedure without electrophysiology.

New targeting procedure without electrophysiology

It is a neurosurgical procedure of electrodes implantation in the sub thalamic nuclei under awake surgery with electrophysiological control. A second surgical step is performed to implant the subcutaneous stimulation device, under general anesthesia.

Classical neurosurgical procedure
