Predicting Cognition After DBS for Parkinson's Disease 2
- Conditions
- Cognitive Impairment
- Registration Number
- NCT06272968
- Lead Sponsor
- Charite University, Berlin, Germany
- Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to improve estimation of cognitive outcome after STN-DBS in PD in order to avoid risk factors by optimizing peri- and intraoperative management personalize therapeutic strategies for optimal long-term benefit.
The investigators will test possible predictors (clinical, neuropsychological, neuroimaging, electrophysiological and molecular) for the risk of cognitive dysfunction after deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) in Parkinson's disease (PD) at a single center (Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany). Data collection takes place prior to as well as 3, 12 and 60 months after the STN-DBS operation. Participation is proposed to all PD patients that are planned to undergo STN-DBS after careful examination of eligibility for this treatment according to standard operation procedures.
- Detailed Description
Additionally to clinical routine tests, the following possible predictors of cognitive dysfunction after STN-DBS in PD are investigated:
* Imaging biomarkers: volume of the nucleus basalis of Meynert (NBM) measured on preoperative MRI and data driven search for unknown MRI characteristics relating to the incidence of postoperative neurocognitive disorder by means of Deep Learning (Convolutional Neural Networks), test of previously established classification models
* Imaging neuronal glucose metabolism with \[18F\]-DG PET
* Comorbidity: according to the Charlson Comorbidity Index
* Nutritional Status: defined by the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA-SF)
* Functional assessment of neuronal activity by 64-channel-EEG
* Duration of intra-/perioperative brake of dopaminergic medication
* Nature and depth of anaesthesia: general or conscious sedation and depth of consciousness: as measured by 4 channel electroencephalography (SedLine®) and during implantation of impulse generator
* Incidence and duration of postoperative delirium: defined according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) and/or as ≥ 2 points in the nursing Delirium Screening Scale (Nu-DESC) and/or a positive Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) score, assessment three times daily during hospital stay
* Length of stay at ICU / hospital
* Postoperative organ complications: according to Clavien-Dindo classification Localisation of bilateral electrodes and active contacts on postoperative imaging
Substudies
Correlation of domain specific CANTAB connect test scores with possible predictors and incidence of postoperative neurocognitive disorder
The resulting multivariate risk model is expected
* to improve peri- and intraoperative management by identifying avoidable risk factors for the development of postoperative cognitive deficit
* to support evidence-based and personalized decision-making when advising PD patients considering STN-DBS
* to result in the development of future hypothesis-driven interventional trials on the basis of biomarker-based sub-grouping of patients
* to allow a better understanding of underlying pathophysiological processes both PD and surgery-related regarding cognitive effects of STN-DBS.
