Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms, resulting in a marked decrease in quality of life (QoL)
Quality of Life
Motor complications in PD patients refractory to oral therapy may be eligible for deep brain stimulation (DBS), which alleviates motor complications and significantly improves QoL
Early identification of underlying problem conditions and an understanding of the variables that influence caregiver burden after DBS can provide goals for supporting a well-functioning patient-caregiver relationship
Unfortunately, the independent relationship between DBS and caregiver burden has not been assessed in previous observational studies
Therefore, Marle M.
They included consecutive patients referred for DBS eligibility screening or one-year follow-up assessment
They included 47 patients (24 at screening, 23 at follow-up) (median age 65 years, 29.
DBS did not affect caregiver burden ( screening : ZBI-12 median 9.
screening
During DBS screening, caregiver burden was higher and correlated with patients' scores for depressive symptoms, anxiety, QoL, and impulsivity
Greater burden on caregivers during DBS screening was associated with patient scores for depressive symptoms, anxiety, QoL, and impulsivity
The significance of this study lies in its findings: DBS does not appear to be associated with changes in caregiver burden
DBS does not appear to be associated with changes in caregiver burden
