✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN–DBS) is an established therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD). A manic episode with psychotic symptoms induced by STN–DBS occurred in a previously psychiatrically healthy patient, focusing on the role of STN–DBS in influencing not only motor but also emotional behaviour. © 2003 Movement Disorder Society

## 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 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

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
