Clinical Study
Effect of Deep Brain Stimulation on Parkinson's Nonmotor Symptoms following Unilateral DBS: A Pilot Study
Table 2
Changes in nonmotor symptoms (NMS) scale. The left-sided group shows prepost-DBS change in prevalence of NMS symptoms. The right-sided group shows changes in NMS score as a difference in total score. Improvements of NMS scores pre-post deep brain stimulation surgery were significant (). Mean scores in miscellaneous symptoms () as well as cardiovascular/falls () symptoms had significant improvement. Prevalence of CV/falls was also significantly different between pre- and post-DBS.
