Shorter Pulse Generator Longevity and More Frequent Stimulator Adjustments With Pallidal DBS for Dystonia Versus Other Movement Disorders

Background: Deep brain stimulation has become a routine therapy for movement disorders, but it is relatively invasive and costly. Although stimulation intensity relates to battery longevity, less is known about how diagnosis and stimulation target contribute to this clinical outcome. Here we evaluat...
