## Abstract Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN‐DBS) is effective in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD), but its effects on the levodopa response are unclear. We studied the levodopa response after long‐term STN‐DBS, STN‐DBS efficacy and predictive value of preoperative levodopa response

## Abstract Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus is the standard of care for treating medically intractable Parkinson's disease. Although the adjunct of microelectrode recording improves the targeting accuracy of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation in comparison with image guida
## Abstract Subthalamic nucleus (STN) lesions or high‐frequency stimulations could improve parkinsonian symptoms in monkeys treated by MPTP. We have applied the procedure of chronic stimulation to the STN in severely disabled parkinsonian patients. This article presents the case of the first patien
The postoperative neurologic management of patients with deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) for Parkinson' s disease is a complex dynamic process that involves a progressive increase in stimulation intensity and a parallel decrease in antiparkinsonian medication while asse
## Abstract The optimal stimulation site in subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN‐DBS) was evaluated by correlation of the stereotactic position of the stimulation electrode with the electrophysiologically specified dorsal STN border. In a series of 25 electrodes, best clinical results with least
