No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Although deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus(STN DBS) has become the surgical treatment of choice for Parkinson's disease(PD), a consensus on the timing of surgery is lacking. This study is intended to demonstrate that early, compared with delayed, introduction of STN DBS is more beneficial for PD patients who have developed motor complications.
