Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a well-accepted treatment for advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). Currently, programming of the DBS is done in a trial-and-error manner and it can take up to 12 months to reach optimal stimulation parameters. Technological advances in electrode design and implantable pulse generator capabilities lead to an almost infinite number...
