In BriefTraditionally, deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson's disease is performed with the patient awake, which allows for test stimulation of therapeutic effects. The feasibility of "asleep" DBS-performing DBS surgery without test stimulation-presumes that 1) the appropriate target can be selected using MR imaging, and therefore 2) intraoperative assessment of lead placement is sufficiently predictive of functional outcomes. This study prospectively compares functional outcomes of patients treated using the awake and the asleep techniques.
