Deep Brain Stimulation for Idiopathic Craniofacial Dystonia: GPi or STN

"The patients will be treated with deep brain electrode placement of STN target under local and general anesthesia. Switching the system on: the stimulator will be switched on 3 weeks after surgery to allow time for the brain edema and stun effect to wear off. Postoperative medication: The subject taking medication in the past will continue the medication. If the subject with no medication before, will be required not to take medication related to dystonia."

The patients will be treated with deep brain electrode implantation of GPi target under local and general anesthesia. Except that the surgical target was GPi, the operation process, stimulator switch-on time, and postoperative medication were the same as those in the STN-DBS group.
