ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

A randomized trial suggested that reducing left-sided subthalamic stimulation amplitude could improve axial dysfunction.

OBJECTIVES:

To explore open-label tolerability and associations between trial outcomes and asymmetry data.

METHODS:

We collected adverse events in trial participants treated with open-label lateralized settings for ≥3 months. We explored associations between trial outcomes, location of stimulation and motor asymmetry.

RESULTS:

14/17 participants tolerated unilateral amplitude reduction (left-sided = 10, right-sided = 4). Two hundred eighty-four left-sided and 1113 right-sided stimulated voxels were associated with faster gait velocity, 81 left-sided and 22 right-sided stimulated voxels were associated with slower gait velocity. Amplitude reduction contralateral to shorter step length was associated with 2.4-point reduction in axial MDS-UPDRS. Reduction contralateral to longer step length was associated with 10-point increase in MDS-UPDRS.

CONCLUSIONS:

Left-sided amplitude reduction is potentially more tolerable than right-sided amplitude reduction. Right-sided more than left-sided stimulation could be associated with faster gait velocity. Shortened step length might reflect contralateral overstimulation.
