Abstract
Background: Excessive subthalamic nucleus (STN) β-band (13–35 Hz) synchronized oscillations has garnered interest as a biomarker for characterizing disease state and developing adaptive stimulation systems for Parkinson's disease (PD). Objectives: To report on a patient with abnormal treatment-responsive modulation in the β-band. Methods: We examined STN local field potentials from an externalized deep brain stimulation (DBS) lead while assessing PD motor signs in four conditions (OFF, MEDS, DBS, and MEDS+DBS). Results: The patient presented here exhibited a paradoxical increase in β power following administration of levodopa and pramipexole (MEDS), but an attenuation in β power during DBS and MEDS+DBS despite clinical improvement of 50% or greater under all three therapeutic conditions. Conclusions: This case highlights the need for further study on the role of β oscillations in the pathophysiology of PD and the importance of personalized approaches to the development of β or other biomarker-based DBS closed loop algorithms.
