## 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
Weight, body mass index (BMI) and energy expenditure/energy intake (EE/EI) was studied in 19 Parkinson's disease (PD) patients after subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) versus 14 nonoperated ones. Operated patients had a significant weight gain (WG, + 9.7 +/- 7 kg) and BMI increase (+ 4.7 k
## Abstract Acute and chronic behavioral effects of subthalamic stimulation (STNβDBS) for Parkinson's disease (PD) are reported in the literature. As the technique is relatively new, few systematic studies on the behavioral effects in longβterm treated patients are available. To further study the p
