Optimized Propofol Anesthesia Increases Power of Subthalamic Neuronal Activity in Patients with Parkinson ’s Disease Undergoing Deep Brain Stimulation

ConclusionOptimized propofol anesthesia enhanced the delta, theta, and alpha power in STN compared with the awake technique and likely contributed to target recognition under propofol anesthesia. These results demonstrate that propofol is suitable, but needs to be optimized, for asleep STN-DBS.Trial RegistrationChinese Clinical Trial Registry Identification number: ChiCTR2100045942.
