Variable- versus constant-frequency deep-brain stimulation in patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Variable- versus constant-frequency deep-brain stimulation in patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Deep-brain stimulation targeting the subthalamic nucleus (STN) can be used to treat motor symptoms and dyskinesia in the advanced stages of Parkinson’s disease (PD). High-frequency stimulation (HFS) of the STN can lead to consistent, long-term improvement of PD symptoms. However,...
