Abstrakt: Background: Nigrostriatal microstructural integrity has been suggested as a biomarker for levodopa response in Parkinson's disease (PD), which is a strong predictor for motor response to deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN). This study aimed to explore the impact of microstructural integrity of the substantia nigra (SN), STN, and putamen on motor response to STN-DBS using diffusion microstructure imaging.
Methods: Data was collected from 23 PD patients (mean age 63 ± 7, 6 females) who underwent STN-DBS, had preoperative 3 T diffusion magnetic resonance imaging including multishell diffusion-weighted MRI with b-values of 1000 and 2000 s/mm 2 and records of motor improvement available.
Results: The association between a poorer DBS-response and increased free interstitial fluid showed notable effect sizes (rho > |0.4|) in SN and STN, but not in putamen. However, this did not reach significance after Bonferroni correction and controlling for sex and age.
Conclusion: Microstructural integrity of SN and STN are potential biomarkers for the prediction of therapy efficacy following STN-DBS, but further studies are required to confirm these associations.
