During deep brain stimulation procedures in Parkinson's disease (PD), the most important prognostic element is the positioning of the surgical electrode in the subthalamic nucleus which is the anatomical target. The main objective of this project is therefore to compare 2 techniques thanks to a prospective comparative randomised open-label study: the use of O-ARM to acquire stereotactic imaging directly in the operating room and the standard technique requiring stereotactic imaging to be performed in the radiology department.
