## Abstract Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN‐DBS) is effective in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD), but its effects on the levodopa response are unclear. We studied the levodopa response after long‐term STN‐DBS, STN‐DBS efficacy and predictive value of preoperative levodopa response

## Abstract Reports of long‐term effects of subthalamic (STN) stimulation for Parkinson's disease (PD) are few, mostly open‐label evaluations and from Western centers. We used single‐blind and open‐label motor, cognitive and quality of life (QOL) evaluations to study the effects of bilateral STN st
## Background: The objective of this study was to examine the clinical outcome and mortality of long-term deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus in advanced parkinson's disease. ## Methods: We included all 144 patients (mean age, 60.3 years; mean disease duration, 11.0 years) treated i
## Abstract The optimal stimulation site in subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN‐DBS) was evaluated by correlation of the stereotactic position of the stimulation electrode with the electrophysiologically specified dorsal STN border. In a series of 25 electrodes, best clinical results with least
