In Parkinson's Disease (PD), measures of non-dopaminergic systems involvement may reflect disease severity and therefore contribute to patient-selection for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). There is currently no determinant for non-dopaminergic disease severity. In this exploratory study, we investigated whether quantitative EEG reflects non-dopaminergic disease severity in PD.
Sixty-three consecutive PD patients screened for DBS were included (mean age 62.4 ± 7.2 years, 32% females). Relative spectral powers and the Phase-Lag-Index (PLI) reflecting functional connectivity were analysed on routine EEGs. Non-dopaminergic disease severity was quantified using the SENS-PD score and its subdomains; motor-severity was quantified using the MDS-UPDRS III.
The SENS-PD composite score correlated with a spectral ratio ((δ + θ)/(α1 + α2 + β) powers) (global spectral ratio Pearson's r = 0.4, 95% Confidence Interval (95%CI) 0.1-0.6), and PLI in the α2 band (10-13 Hz) (r = -0.3, 95%CI -0.5 to -0.1). These correlations seem driven by the subdomains cognition and psychotic symptoms. MDS-UPDRS III was not significantly correlated with EEG parameters.
EEG slowing and reduced functional connectivity in the α2 band were associated with non-dopaminergic disease severity in PD.
The described EEG parameters may have complementary utility as determinants of non-dopaminergic involvement in PD.
在帕金森病(PD)中,非多巴胺能系统受累的测量可能反映疾病的严重程度,因此有助于为深部脑刺激(DBS)选择患者。目前还没有非多巴胺能疾病严重程度的决定因素。在这项探索性研究中,我们研究了定量脑电图(EEG)是否反映了 PD 中的非多巴胺能疾病严重程度。
纳入 63 名连续筛选 DBS 的 PD 患者(平均年龄 62.4±7.2 岁,32%为女性)。在常规 EEG 上分析相对频谱功率和相位滞后指数(PLI),以反映功能连接。使用 SENS-PD 评分及其子域量化非多巴胺能疾病严重程度;使用 MDS-UPDRS III 量化运动严重程度。
SENS-PD 综合评分与频谱比((δ+θ)/(α1+α2+β)功率)(总体频谱比 Pearson r=0.4,95%置信区间(95%CI)0.1-0.6)和 α2 波段(10-13 Hz)的 PLI 相关(r=-0.3,95%CI -0.5 至-0.1)。这些相关性似乎是由认知和精神病症状等子域驱动的。MDS-UPDRS III 与 EEG 参数无显著相关性。
PD 患者的 EEG 减慢和 α2 波段的功能连接减少与非多巴胺能疾病严重程度相关。
所描述的 EEG 参数可能作为 PD 中非多巴胺能受累的决定因素具有互补作用。
