Conditions: Parkinson Disease
Interventions: Stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus
Countries: France
Deep brain stimulation of the sub thalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) is an efficient treatment to improve motor and non motor signs of Parkinson's disease (PD). In people aged more 70 years, an increased rate of side effects such as post-operative cognitive decline and/or postural instability with falls has been suspected with less improvement in the quality of life. Here, Investigators aim further explore the effects of STN-DBS in 50 patients with PD people aged more 69 years in a randomized parallel controlled study.
