Failure of Long-Term Pallidal Stimulation Corrected by Subthalmaic Stimulation in PD Neurol 55:728-730, Houeto,J.L. et al, 2000 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Bilateral high-frequency continuous stimulation of the internal globus pallidus or subthalamic nucleus constitutes a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of patients with severe PD. The authors report tow patients in whom stimulation of the globus pallidus failed to give long-term relief and was successfully replaced by bilateral subthalamic stimulation. The results emphasize the reversibility of deep brain stimulation therapy and suggest that the subthalamic target is preferable to the pallidal target.
