ABSTRACT
To identify factors predictive of effective bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) stimulation for PD with severe motor complications, pre- and postoperative Unified PD Rating Scale (UPDRS) scores were analyzed in a series of 54 patients who received bilateral STN stimulation. Younger age and levodopa responsiveness predict a favorable response to bilateral STN stimulation. For individual PD symptoms, those that improve with a suprathreshold dose levodopa challenge are likely to improve with stimulation.
