ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effectiveness of deep brain stimulation (DBS) treating Parkinson's disease.Methods Forty cases of Parkinson's disease were selected from March 2014 to August 2015.The clinical symptoms of these patients were described and quantitatively analyzed with Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) before and after the procedure of DBS surgery.Results After deep brain stimulation surgery,the symptoms including muscle stiffness,static tremor,bradykinesia were improved,UPDRS scores were significantly lower and the demanding dosage of Parkinson disease drugs such as L-dopa/benserazide and L-dopa/carbidopa were also reduced.Conclusion Deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease is safe and effective.It can obviously control the symptoms,reduce the dosage of oral drugs,and improve the quality of life.
