Abstract Subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been proven to be an alternative target choice for refractory isolated cervical dystonia (CD). However, assessments of its short and long-term safety, efficacy, and sustained effectiveness have been limited to few reports. Here, we evaluated nine consecutive refractory isolated CD patients who underwent bilateral STN DBS and accepted to short and long-term follow-up in this retrospective study. Seven time points were used to see the Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS) scores (pre-operation [baseline], 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 months post-operation and last follow-up) to assess improvement of dystonic symptoms. The 36-item Short-Form General Health Survey (SF-36) scores obtained at pre-operation and last follow-up to assess the changes in quality of life. All patients tolerated surgery well and acquired observable clinical benefits from STN DBS therapy. All patients achieved a considerable improvement in quality of life at the last follow-up. The hardware-related adverse events can be tolerated and the stimulation-related adverse events can be ameliorated by programming. Our data support the idea that bilateral STN DBS is a safety and effective method for the treatment of refractory isolated CD, with persistent and remarkable improvement in both movement and quality of life.

Object The goal of this study was to evaluate short- and long-term benefits in quality of life (QOL) after unilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) for essential tremor (ET). Methods Patients who received unilateral DBS of the ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus between 1997 and 2010 and who had at least 1 follow-up evaluation at least 1 year after surgery were included. Their QOL was assessed with the Parkinson Disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39), and ET was measured with the Fahn-Tolosa-Marin tremor rating scale (TRS) prior to surgery and then postoperatively with the stimulation in the on mode. Results Ninety-one patients (78 at 1 year; 42 at 2–7 years [mean 4 years]; and 22 at > 7–12 years [mean 9 years]) were included in the analysis. The TRS total, targeted tremor, and activities of daily living (ADL) scores were significantly improved compared with presurgical scores up to 12 years. The PDQ-39 ADL, emotional well-being, stigma, and total scores were significantly improved up to 7 years after surgery compared with presurgical scores. At the longest follow-up, only the PDQ-39 stigma score was significantly improved, and the PDQ-39 mobility score was significantly worsened. Conclusions Unilateral thalamic stimulation significantly reduces ET and improves ADL scores for up to 12 years after surgery, as measured by the TRS. The PDQ-39 total score and the domains of ADL, emotional well-being, and stigma were significantly improved up to 7 years. Although scores were improved compared with presurgery, other than stigma, these benefits did not remain significant at the longest (up to 12 years) follow-up, probably related in part to changes due to aging and comorbidities.

BackgroundOver the past 20 years a number of robust studies have established the clinical effectiveness and safety of Deep brain stimulation (DBS) in adults with profound multi-treatment-refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However long term (>12 months) outcomes with this novel neurosurgical intervention are still inadequately reported. Our group conducted the first UK study of DBS in OCD between 2013-2017. All participants in our trial achieved a responder status at 15 month endpoint and the main results were reported in 2019. A specialist multidisciplinary clinic was established after the trial to provide life-long aftercare in the form of scheduled clinical and hardware reviews. Here we are reporting a preliminary analysis of the long-term clinical, functional and social outcomes from this cohort.MethodLong term follow-up clinical data (15–75 months, 2015 onwards) were prospectively collected from the participants who were enrolled in the original MRC-UCL pilot study of DBS for OCD. DBS parameters, battery health and status, social circumstances, mental state and medication adjustments were noted alongside the outcome measures of YBOCS at clinical follow-up encounters. Additional ratings of GAF, SDS and certain qualitative measures were recorded at least once every year since initial study completion.ResultFive out of six participants continued with DBS treatment and kept responder status. One participant had his DBS switched off and hardware removed. One participant had multiple hospital admissions to manage comorbidity progression to primary condition. One participant had OCD severity scores revised upwards despite continuing gains in QoL. Secondary outcomes generally matched the 15 month end point of initial trial. All participants experienced minor to major changes in their relationships with partners or family. Qualitative feedback indicated that DBS was well tolerated by 5/6 subjects but the burden of specialist follow-up remained significant.ConclusionOur long term follow-up data indicate that DBS is safe and conferred a sustained long-term benefit in reduction of obsessive-compulsive symptoms. A non-trivial burden of checking and maintenance of implanted hardware, comorbidity-unmasking following successful OCD treatment, perceived ‘burden of normality’ by the participant, need for life-long follow-ups with specialist multidisciplinary team including DBS nurses, highly specialist psychiatrists from National OCD service, neuropsychiatrists, neurologists and neurosurgeons partially counterbalances the gains offered by this treatment. Overall DBS offers a safe, effective and enduring alternative to participants who do not respond to any other form of OCD treatment and do not wish to undergo ablation surgery.
