## Abstract Eight patients with advanced PD received a unilateral STN DBS. The UPDRS III __off__ drugβon DBS was improved by a mean 44%. Dyskinesias were ameliorated. Levodopa daily dose was reduced. Three patients required the implantation of the second electrode__.__ Unilateral DBS may be efficac
Numerous factors need to be taken into account when implanting deep brain stimulation (DBS) systems into patients with Parkinson's disease. The surgical procedure itself can be divided into immediate preoperative, intraoperative, and immediate postoperative phases. Preoperative considerations includ
## Abstract Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) accelerates reaction time (RT) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), particularly in tasks in which decisions on the response side have to be made. This might indicate that DBS speeds up both motor and nonmotor operation
Both pallidotomy and deep brain stimulation (DBS) have been proven to be effective in suppressing levodopa-induced dyskinesias (LID). The effects of pallidal stereotactic surgery on parkinsonian features have, however, been less consistent. To supplement existing knowledge of globus pallidus (GP) p
