“…However, PD patients with obvious "off-medication" symptoms of anxiety, painful dystonia, and respiratory distress may not be good candidates for the lengthy tolerating the surgical procedures while awake [54][55][56][57]. In this section, we will report our own experience with general anesthesia during DBS surgery with MER and compare it with data from awake procedures (see Table 3).…”

“…Some patients with severe "off-medication" PD symptoms, such as major anxiety, poorly tolerated off-medication dystonia, or respiratory difficulties may refuse DBS or may be poor candidates for DBS in an awake state [55,57]. STN-DBS during a state of general anesthesia may be another choice for those patients with advanced PD for whom symptoms are difficult to control with medication only.…”

“…This method is also used to treat primary and secondary tremor. Currently, this method is used only for people who cannot adequately control the symptoms with drug (Maltête et al, 2004). Before surgery, MRI and CT scan are used to the precise identification of target location in the brain.…”
