Why
To compare the effectiveness of STN-DBS and LCIG on axial symptoms in complicated Parkinson's disease, where evidence has been limited.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
The study found that LCIG treatment was associated with lower odds of long-term axial deterioration compared to STN-DBS, suggesting more favorable long-term axial symptom trajectories with LCIG, despite an increased risk of dyskinesias.
