Brief Summary

The objective of this project is to evaluate next generation visualization tools and surgical targeting models for clinical deep brain stimulation (DBS). This study will evaluate the performance of HoloDBS software in comparison to the current standard (SOC) clinical planning tools to prepare for DBS surgery. The investigators hypothesize that HoloDBS will provide more detailed and anatomically useful information to the neurosurgeon and neurologist than the current clinical standard. The study team reviews electronic medical records (EMR) from patients who are undergoing DBS surgery. There are no study visits involved in this study as only data from standard clinical care will be used. All study activities are executed by the study team and there are no interventions.

Deep Brain Stimulation

Keywords

DBS; Parkinson's Disease

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Distance Between the Actual Post-operative Location of the DBS Electrode and the Planned Location

  Comparison of the post-operative position of the DBS electrode to the location that was defined in the standard-of-care plan and the HoloDBS plan. The distance was calculated for each hemisphere for each participant as the distance between the actual post-operative electrode location and the location defined in the SOC plan (indicated as SOC) and the distance between the actual post-operative electrode location and the location defined in the HoloDBS plan (indicated as HoloDBS).

  1 month after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Percentage of Physicians Who Reply 'Yes' to the Question, 'Was the Additional Data Available in the HoloDBS Application Valuable in Defining Your Theoretical Optimal Electrode Position?'

  6 months and 1 year after study starts

Study Arms (2)

Study Population

Patients with Parkinson's disease scheduled for Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery

You may not qualify if:

• age 18 years and over
• meeting qualification for deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease with one or more of medication refractory tremor, motor fluctuations despite medication optimization, or levodopa responsiveness but limited by medication induced adverse effects (nausea, dystonia, dyskinesia for example).
• consideration of alternate diagnosis to Parkinson disease
• high risk medical comorbidities which would make the patient not a candidate for surgery.
