    Deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease can be performed awake or under general anesthesia, with varying outcomes reported.

  • 2

    Awake procedures may lead to intraoperative drowsiness and disorientation, affecting the reliability of optimal stimulation site determination.

  • 3

    A retrospective study analyzed 122 patients to identify factors influencing somnolence and disorientation during awake DBS operations.

  • 4

    The study found no significant differences in motor symptom improvement between awake and asleep DBS procedures.

  • 5

    Preoperative management, including L-DOPA withdrawal and MRI timing, was standardized to enhance surgical planning and patient outcomes.
