Effect of Scalp Nerve Block on the Recovery Quality of Parkinson's Patients After Deep Brain Stimulation

Effect of Scalp Nerve Block Combined With Intercostal Nerve Block on Quality of Recovery After Deep Brain Stimulation in Patients With Parkinson's Disease

Patients diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PD) undergoing deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) have a higher risk of perioperative complications and postoperative pain will affect quality of recovery (QoR) resulting in longer hospitalization time and higher hospital costs. Scalp nerve block (SNB) combined with intercostal nerve block (ICNB)can alleviate postoperative pain while effect of them on postoperative recovery quality of patients diagnosed with PD was unclear. Therefore, the investigators conducted a randomized controlled trails to provide a novel method for enhanced recovery and early prevention and treatment of acute pain after DBS surgery.

Inclusion Criteria:

• patients with PD who receive elective deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery
