AI Article Synopsis
- Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a treatment for motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease, but it can also trigger negative psychiatric effects, like elevated mood.
- A case involving a 73-year-old man showed that his mood improved after receiving DBS in the subthalamic nucleus (STN), with changes linked to increased activity in a specific brain region.
- This case emphasizes the importance of recognizing mood changes associated with DBS, aiding both patients and healthcare professionals in identifying and managing potential side effects.
Article Abstract
Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) can be an effective therapy to control motor signs in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS can induce undesirable psychiatric adverse effects, including elevated mood.
Case Report: We reported a video case of a 73-year-old male implanted with bilateral STN DBS who experienced stimulation-induced elevated mood. A correlation between mood changes and enhanced activation of the ventromedial region in the left STN was observed.
Discussion: This video case report illustrates STN DBS-induced elevated mood and enhances early symptom recognition for patients and diagnostic awareness for professionals.
