Overview
Brief Summary
Pain is a common symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) but the physiology remains poorly understood. Recent work suggests that subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) could make a profit on the pain in PD.
The investigator would drive a study with a follow up of PD patients before and after STN-DBS. The pain will be clinically explored by targeted questionnaires and electrophysiological through laser evoked potentials.
The questionnaires are designed to quantify and characterize the pain in these patients. Laser evoked potentials will, through repetitive stimulation, study both the functional status of the afferent nociceptive pathways, their habituation to repetitive nociceptive stimuli, and so better understand any abnormalities of the central processing of nociceptive information.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •A patient with idiopathic Parkinson's disease
- •Age between 30 and 70 inclusive.
- •No cognitive decline (MMS greater than or equal to 24)
- •Normal brain MRI
- •Informed consent signed
- •With or without pain sensation
Exclusion Criteria
- •Presence of other neurological pathology that could explain the pain.
- •MMS less than 24
- •Pregnant or breastfeeding women
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Modification of habituation in percentage, between tests performed before and after DBS
Time Frame: After the second laser evoked potential which occurred around 3 months after STN-DBS
The habituation is the change of amplitude between the first and the second response of the double stimulation during the laser evoked potential. We calculated a percentage
Secondary Outcomes
- Change in latency of laser evoked potential responses before and after DBS(After the second laser evoked potential which occurred around 3 months after STN-DBS)
- Change in amplitude of laser evoked potential responses before and after DBS(After the second laser evoked potential which occurred around 3 months after STN-DBS)
