This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether desflurane can work as well as (using dexmedetomidine) during deep brain stimulation surgery for Parkinson's disease. The surgery uses special monitoring to locate the right spot in the brain to help control Parkinson's symptoms. Researchers want to know if the medication affects the quality of the brain signals doctors use to guide the surgery, and whether both anesthesia approaches lead to the same good results for patients.
Some Parkinson's patients cannot tolerate staying awake during this brain surgery, so doctors need reliable anesthesia options. However, can interfere with the electrical signals doctors use to precisely position the treatment, so this trial is exploring whether this medication works as well as the current standard approach.
You will be randomly assigned to receive either or during your deep brain stimulation surgery. Doctors will monitor your brain's electrical signals during the procedure to guide the surgery. After surgery, you will have follow-up visits to check your Parkinson's symptoms and overall recovery, with a main assessment at 6 months.
