## Abstract This study examined whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) would affect the contrast sensitivity (CS) curve in patients with PD. CS was tested in 12 nondemented PD patients treated with bilateral subthalamic nucleus DBS on and off stimulation and medications. Neither stimulation condition
## Abstract In Parkinson's disease, dopamine dysregulation syndrome (DDS) is characterized by severe dopamine addiction and behavioral disorders such as manic psychosis, hypersexuality, pathological gambling, and mood swings. Here, we describe the case of 2 young parkinsonian patients suffering fro
Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus is an accepted treatment for the motor complications of Parkinson's disease. The therapeutic mechanism of action remains incompletely understood. Although the results of deep brain stimulation are similar to the results that can be obtained by lesion
## Abstract To determine whether the degree to which a patient with Parkinson's disease expects therapeutic benefit from subthalamic nucleusβdeep brain stimulation (STNβDBS) influences the magnitude of his or her improved motor response, 10 patients with idiopathic Parkinson's and bilateral STNβDBS
