## Abstract We investigated the impact of subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) on quality of life (QOL) in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease, as self‐assessed before and after surgery by completing the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ39). In addition to this prospec
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 Relatively little is known about the role of the basal ganglia in human deglutition. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) affords us a model for examining deglutition in humans with known impairment of the basal ganglia. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of subthalamic nuclei
