## Abstract We investigated gender‐differences in clinical phenomenology and response to deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in a group of patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). Thirty‐eight consecutive patients with PD (22 men and 16 women), bilaterally implante

Most Parkinson's patients complain about sleep problems. The subjective effect of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) on nocturnal disabilities and sleep quality was elucidated by the recently established Parkinson's disease sleep scale (PDSS). The DBS-treated group obtaine
## Abstract To determine whether the degree to which a patient with Parkinson's disease expects therapeutic benefit from subthalamic nucleus–deep brain stimulation (STN‐DBS) influences the magnitude of his or her improved motor response, 10 patients with idiopathic Parkinson's and bilateral STN‐DBS
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder for which there is as yet no cure. It affects many aspects of patients' lives, only some of which can be monitored by available clinical rating scales. In the past decade, there has been a new emphasis on the use of health-related
## Abstract Subthalamic nucleus (STN) stimulation improves motor disability and quality of life in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). Short‐term mortality is low, but little is known about long‐term mortality. We assessed mortality and causes of death in 171 consecutive PD patients tr
## Abstract Postural instability is a sign of progression of Parkinson's disease (PD) and often resistant to levodopa treatment. To explore the effect of bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) on postural stability and gait, full body gait analyses were performed wi
