Evaluating therapeutic effects of GPi-DBS vs. STN-DBS on patients with idiopathic craniofacial dystonia: Clinical data of patients at different treatment time points will be collected, using different clinical assessments. The main purpose is to assess whether STN-DBS is non-inferior to GPi-DBS for motor symptoms improvements at 365 days postoperatively in patients with idiopathic craniofacial dystonia.~Primary endpoints: Differences between the two groups in BFMDRS-M change scores in the stimulation state from before to 365 days (±14 days) after STN-DBS and GPi-DBS.~Secondary endpoints: Differences between the two groups in BFMDRS-M change scores in the stimulation state from before to 90, 180 days (±14 days) after STN-DBS and GPi-DBS. Differences between the two groups in BFMDRS-D, BDSI, JRS, MMSE, MoCA, HRSD, HAMA, SF-36 and programming parameters change scores in the stimulation state from before to 365 days (±14 days) after STN-DBS and GPi-DBS.
MEIGES is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial with the primary hypothesis that, STN-DBS is non-inferior to GPi-DBS for motor symptoms improvements at 365 days postoperatively in patients with idiopathic craniofacial dystonia.
