## Abstract To determine whether the degree to which a patient with Parkinson's disease expects therapeutic benefit from subthalamic nucleusβdeep brain stimulation (STNβDBS) influences the magnitude of his or her improved motor response, 10 patients with idiopathic Parkinson's and bilateral STNβDBS
## Abstract Camptocormia becomes increasingly recognized as a disabling symptom associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). We here report six patients with advanced PD in whom continuous bilateral stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus produced substantial (mean 78% Β± 9.1% of the thoracolumbar angle
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
