Disclosures
• No financial relationships.
• Investigational treatments will be discussed.
Overview
• Deep brain stimulation (DBS) uses a surgically
implanted medical device, similar to a cardiac
pacemaker, to deliver a carefully controlled
electrical stimulation to precisely targeted
areas in the brain.
• It works by electrically stimulating specific
structures in a neural circuit that is involved in
producing unwanted symptoms.
Overview

Parkinson’s Disease – FDA approved, 2002.
Essential Tremor – FDA approved, 1997.
Dystonia – FDA approved (HDE), 2003
Other conditions: Chronic pain, OCD (HDE,
2009), depression, Tourette's disease,
Alzheimer’s, obesity, addiction, cluster
headache, secondary tremors.

History of stereotactic surgery
and
deep brain stimulation
Progression
• Understanding that deep brain structures are
involved in the movement disorders.
• Destruction of structures.
• Stereotactic focused destructions.
• Delineating the circuits involved in the
disease.
• Focused deep brain stimulation.
Meyer’s approach to the basal ganglia. (Meyers R. The surgery of the hyperkinetic disorders. In:
Vinken PJ, Bruyn GW, eds. Diseases of the Basal Ganglia. New York: North-Holland Publishing,
1968: 844-878.)
The Horsley-Clarke Stereotactic Device was first reported in Brain (31:45-124, 1908)
First DBS implants
• 1975 – fist chronic therapy
via DBS by Russian
neuroscientist Natalia
Bekhtereva.
• Stimulation at high
frequency inhibited activity
of the tremor causing area
of the brain. Effects were
similar effects to the
ablation with reversibility of
the therapy.
Pacemakers:

Model 5800

History
• 1980’s - deep brain stimulation for tremor is
systematically used in France and popularized
by Dr. Alim Benabid.
Present
• > 100,000 DBS implants worldwide.
• >7000 published articles on DBS.
• Well established safety profile for three
decades.
• Technological evolution.
• Therapy that is reversible and adjustable.

Parkinson’s Disease
• Neurodegenerative disorders that begins with the
destruction of substantia nigra pars compacta.
• Progressive loss of dopamine results in abnormal
electrical activity in the brain.
• Medications help, but many of patients become
treatment resistant over time.
• 50,000-60,000 new cases each year.
• Over one million people who currently have PD.
Parkinson’s Disease
• Motor symptoms:
•
•
•
•
•
Tremor (resting)
Rigidity (stiffness)
Akinesia/bradykinesia (absence/slowness of movements
Gait shuffling, freezing.
Postural instability.
• Non-motor symptoms: dementia, impulsivity,
depression – late stages.
Patient Selection –Parkinson’s Disease
• Idiopathic PD
• Bradykinesia, tremor, rigidity – maximized on
medical management with poor symptomatic
control.
• Medication response: >30%.
• Significant tremor that never responded to
medications.
• ON/OFF fluctuations and bothersome
dyskinesias.

Essential tremor
• Very common.
• Prevalence – 0.4-5.5%, in population over 65 –
up to 14%.
• Often under-diagnosed and undertreated.
• Progressive.
• 50% of patients fail medical management.
Essential Tremor
• It is characterized by an action or postural tremor
in the frequency range of 4 to 12 Hz.
• Alcohol transiently diminishes tremor amplitude
in 50% to 90% of cases, although this may worsen
after the effect of alcohol has worn off.
• The location varies. Approximately 90% of
patients have tremor in their upper extremities,
30% have a head tremor, 20% have a voice
tremor, 10% have a face or jaw tremor, and 10%
of ET patients may have a lower limb tremor.
Essential tremor subtypes
• Hereditary ET, for patients who fulfill consensus criteria for
definite or classic ET and also have a family of at least one
affected relative in the immediate family. The onset of
tremor in the patient and the family member must occur
prior to age 65 years.
• Sporadic ET, for patients who fulfill the consensus criteria
for definite or classic ET, but do not have an immediate
family member with ET, and whose age at onset of ET is
younger than 65 years.
• Senile ET, for patients who have definite or classic ET
according to consensus criteria, but who develop ET at or
after the age of 65 years. Patients may or may not have a
family history of ET.
Patient Selection – Essential Tremor
• Proper diagnosis.
• Tremor that is maximized on medical
management with poor symptomatic control.
• Medications are contraindicated or side
effects are intolerable.
• Tremor is severe enough to interfere with
ADLs, job duties, social interactions.
ET DBS
Target
Target: VIM
Axial View
DYSTONIA
• A syndrome of spontaneous sustained muscle
contractions, with frequently twisting and
repetitive movements, or abnormal postures.
• Third most common movement disorder
• Repetitive patterned movements
• Often exacerbated by voluntary motor activity
• Genetic component
– Autosomal dominant mutation
– DYT genes
Patient Selection - Dystonia
• Primary and secondary dystonia.
• Failed conservative management.
• Functional incapacitation.
• Children included.
General considerations
in patient selection
• Stable medical co-morbidities.
• Stable cognition and psychiatric illnesses.
• Good social support system and commitment
to programming sessions.
• No structural lesions.

Essential Tremor Outcomes
• Hand/arm tremor – 80% of patients have near
complete tremor relief. 20% have significant relief of
the tremor.
• Head/neck/trunk/voice tremor – 50-60% relief of the
tremor. May require bilateral implant.
• Follow-ups of several years are established with good
durability of the efficacy.
• If disease progresses, then stimulation may be easily
adjusted.
Dystonia DBS
• Improvement is not immediate – few months.
• Primary/Idiopathic-best results:
• DYT-1, generalized – 74%
• Cervical, when it comes to focal dystonia.
• Appendicular dystonia responds better than one with axial symptoms.
• Secondary-inconsistent results:
• Structural lesions – less responsive
• Tardive dystonia are exceptions – best responder
• Outcome 23-91% improvement.
Adverse Reactions
•
•
•
•
Every surgery has risks.
Infection is most common: 3-4%.
Major complications <1%.
Hardware malfunctions.
Frontiers
• Same disease-new targets: pedunculopontine
nucleus (PPN) DBS for gait abnormalities in
PD.
• New technology – Medtronic Activa PC+S
• New movement disorders targeted –
Tourette's disease.
• MRI safety clinical studies.
Conclusion
• Multidisciplinary approach is essential.
• Deep brain stimulation provides significant
symptomatic relief and improves quality of life
in well selected patients with certain
movement disorders.
• Thank You!
