Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), an FDA-approved treatment for movement disorders such as Parkinson's Disease (PD), is increasingly used for various neurological and neuropsychiatric conditions. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis by Bahadori et al. highlighted a significant increase in Body Mass Index (BMI) among patients post-DBS, with most participants having PD. The study, however, noted moderate heterogeneity (I² = 67.566%) without thoroughly addressing its potential causes or proposing strategies to mitigate it. The review's limited patient diversity and short follow-up period also challenge its generalizability and long-term implications. In addition to BMI changes, DBS has been linked to motor, cognitive, and psychiatric side effects. Patients undergoing subthalamic nucleus (STN) stimulation, for example, face risks of motor complications, including speech and gait issues, while cognitive declines, particularly in verbal fluency and executive function, are also concerning. Psychiatric side effects such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis further complicate treatment outcomes. These findings underscore the importance of personalized treatment strategies, preoperative assessments, and ongoing patient education to minimize adverse effects and optimize the therapeutic potential of DBS.
