Clinical Outcomes of Deep Brain Stimulator (DBS) Electrodes Placed Using Intraoperative Computed Tomography (CT) and Frameless Stereotaxis

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Parkinson's Disease

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine whether performing deep brain stimulation surgery for Parkinson's disease using intraoperative imaging and frameless stereotaxis is noninferior to using frame-based stereotaxy and microelectrode recording.
