pubmed:abstractText |
The levodopa responsiveness of motor, particularly axial symptoms is a good predictor of the effectiveness of subthalamic nucleus (STN) stimulation in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, many Japanese PD patients are intolerant of higher doses of antiparkinsonian drugs and some aspects of their axial symptoms may remain unresponsive to treatment. We retrospectively investigated the effects of bilateral STN stimulation on the axial signs unresponsive to levodopa in Japanese patients with PD.
