Abstract:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Asleep, image-guided deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a modern alternative to awake, microelectrode recording (MER) guidance. Studies demonstrate comparable efficacy and complications between techniques, although some report lower stimulation thresholds for side effects with image guidance. In addition, few studies directly compare the risk of postoperative transient confusion (pTC) across techniques. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical efficacy, stimulation … Show more
