Effects of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation using different frequency programming paradigms on axial symptoms in advanced Parkinson’s disease Acta Neurochir. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-08
Abstract Background In advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD), axial symptoms are common and can be debilitating. Although deep brain stimulation (DBS) significantly improves motor symptoms, conventional high-frequency stimulation (HFS) has limited effectiveness in improving axial symptoms. In this study, we investigated the effects on multiple axial symptoms after DBS surgery with three different frequency
