Background and objectiveMemory impairment is a frequent and debilitating symptom in neurodegenerative disorders. The objective of this study was to provide proof-of-principle that deep brain stimulation during sleep can modify memory consolidation in people with Parkinson's disease depending on the stimulation frequency that is applied.MethodsTwenty-four patients with Parkinson's disease who were treated with deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus were included in this single-blind pilot study. Six patients had to be excluded because of insomnia on the night of testing. Patients were randomized (1:1 ratio) to receiving either low frequency deep brain stimulation (4 Hz) or clinically used high frequency deep brain stimulation (130 Hz) during early non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. The main outcome measure was overnight memory retention as measured by a validated declarative memory task.ResultsPatients receiving low frequency deep brain stimulation during early NREM sleep (n = 9, 4 females, mean age 61.1 ± 4.3 years) showed improved overnight memory retention (z = 2.549, P = 0.011). Patients receiving clinically used high frequency deep brain stimulation (n = 9, 2 females, mean age 62.2 ± 7.1) did not show any improvement (z = 1.023, P = 0.306) leading to a significant difference between groups (z = 2.214, P = 0.027). Stronger improvement in memory function was correlated with increased cortical low frequency activity after low frequency deep brain stimulation as measured by electroencephalography (ρ = 0.711, P = 0.037).ConclusionThese results provide proof-of-principle that memory can be modulated by frequency-specific deep brain stimulation during sleep. © 2024 The Author(s).
