Spinal lumbar multimodal neurophysiological monitoring in a patient with deep brain Stimulator: A case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) is a highly valuable tool in spinal surgery. It allows for real-time evaluation of nervous system function and alerts the surgeon to any warning signs. Among the various techniques used are motor evoked potentials (MEPs) through transcranial electrical stimulation, which involve applying an electrical stimulus to the scalp in the primary motor cortex region and recording it in the corresponding muscles of the corticospinal tract. There are relative contraindications for this technique, such as in patients who have an implantable device. There is no consensus on how to perform this technique in patients with a deep brain stimulator. We present the case of a 61-year-old patient with Parkinson's disease and a deep brain stimulator (DBS), and who underwent spinal surgery for lumbar discopathy. IONM was performed during the procedure using MEPs, necessitating the deactivation of the DBS to protect its function. Upon completion of the surgical procedure, the device was reactivated, confirming its proper function. We demonstrate that this technique can be safe for these patients, weighing the potential risks and benefits. However, it will be necessary to develop specific guidelines for performing these techniques in the future.
