Cerebral blood flow responses to dorsal and ventral STN DBS correlate with gait and balance responses in Parkinson's disease

Open access

Abstract

Objectives The effects of subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) on gait and balance vary and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. DBS location may alter motor benefit due to anatomical heterogeneity in STN. The purposes of this study were to (1) compare the effects of DBS of dorsal (D-STN) versus ventral (V-STN) regions on gait, balance and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and (2) examine the relationships between changes in rCBF and changes in gait and balance induced by D-STN or V-STN DBS. Methods We used a validated atlas registration to locate and stimulate through electrode contacts in D-STN and V-STN regions of 37 people with Parkinson's disease. In a within-subjects, double-blind and counterbalanced design controlled for DBS settings, we measured PET rCBF responses in a priori regions of interest and quantified gait and balance during DBS Off, unilateral D-STN DBS and unilateral V-STN DBS. Results DBS of either site increased stride length without producing significant group-level changes in gait velocity, cadence or balance. Both sites increased rCBF in subcortical regions and produced variable changes in cortical and cerebellar regions. DBS-induced changes in gait velocity are related to premotor cortex rCBF changes during V-STN DBS (r=-0.40, p=0.03) and to rCBF changes in the cerebellum anterior lobe during D-STN DBS (r=-0.43, p=0.02). Conclusions DBS-induced changes in gait corresponded to rCBF responses in selected cortical and cerebellar regions. These relationships differed during D-STN versus V-STN DBS, suggesting DBS acts through distinct neuronal pathways dependent on DBS location.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Resting cerebral blood flow increases in the premotor cortex following deep brain stimulation treatment, correlated with improved gait velocity and cadence.

    “Additionally, resting CBF increases in the premotor cortex following DBS treatment, which correlated with improved gait velocity and cadence (250).”

    From Blood-Brain Barrier: From Physiology to Disease and Back (2019) · cites this paper as [250]

    The Results (Correlation analyses of rCBF with gait and balance; page not provided) report negative, not positive, correlations between premotor blood-flow changes during ventral STN DBS and changes in gait velocity and cadence; these correlations did not remain significant after correction for multiple comparisons. The Discussion states that patients with decreased premotor blood flow tended to show the greatest gait-velocity improvements, contrary to the claimed increase. (LLM, conf=0.90)

    Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.

  • Deep brain stimulation effectiveness in improving Parkinson's disease motor symptoms is credited to microvascular improvements.

    “Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is commonly used to improve PD-related motor symptoms, and its effectiveness is credited to microvascular improvements (250, 473).”

    From Blood-Brain Barrier: From Physiology to Disease and Back (2019) · cites this paper as [250]

    The Introduction says STN DBS improves gait and balance in some people with Parkinson’s disease, and the Results report improved motor scores during stimulation. But the Introduction says its mechanisms remain unclear. The Results describe regional blood-flow changes, not microvascular improvements causing the motor benefit; the reported gait correlations did not remain significant after correction for multiple comparisons. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
