Evaluation of Pre and Postoperative Polysomnographic Data in Patients with Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease Undergoing Deep Brain Stimulation Intended Bilateral Subthalamic Nucleus

Abstract

Objective: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) intended to bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) used in the Parkinson's disease (PD) has been reported to lead improved subjective sleep quality, increased sleep efficiency, decreased wakefulness time after sleep, and increased total sleep time. On this basis, we aimed to evaluate the sleep structure and quality by polysomnographic (PSG) investigation parameters in patients diagnosed with idiopathic PD who were planned to undergo bilateral STN-DBS.
