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.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

New targeting procedure without electrophysiology

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

PROCEDURE

Classical neurosurgical procedure

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.
