Segmented deep brain stimulation leads feature directional electrodes, that allow for a finer spatial control of electrical stimulation compared to traditional ring-shaped electrodes. These segmented leads have demonstrated enlarged therapeutic windows and have thus the potential to improve the treatment of Parkinson’s disease patients. However, this is accompanied by complex and time-consuming device programming. Here, we investigated whether directional local field potentials can help identify the best stimulation direction to assist device programming.

Four Parkinson’s disease patients underwent routine implantation of the subthalamic nucleus. First, local field potentials were recorded in three directions for two conditions: In one condition the patient was at rest, in the other condition the patient moved their arm. Second, current thresholds for therapeutic and side effects were identified intraoperatively for directional stimulation. This determined the 1st, 2nd and 3rd best stimulation direction. The spectral power of the beta frequency band (13–35 Hz) and its sub-bands were analyzed in more detail post-hoc.

The direction with the highest spectral power in the total beta band was most indicative of the 1st best stimulation direction. The resting condition seemed to be slightly more informative about the best stimulation direction than the moving condition.

Directional local field potentials can therefore help identify the best stimulation direction. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to better distinguish the informative value of different conditions and the beta sub-bands.
