PROCEDURE

deep brain stimulation

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical intervention used to treat movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD). Target sites of stimulation may differ among patients. The Gpi and STN are two commonly targeted sites within the brain for treatment of PD, yet differences in outcomes between stimulation at the Gpi vs the STN (unilateral and bilateral) are not currently well understood.
