... for Parkinson’s disease (PD). A stimulation sweet spot at the interface between the motor and associative clusters of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) has recently been postulated. The aim of this study was to analyze the available clustering methods for the STN and their correlation to outcome. Methods...

...) is established as the most frequent target in the management of the dystonic symptoms. We report our experience with subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS in 3 patients with post-infarct dystonia, in whom GPi DBS was not confidently possible due to the presence of striatal infarcts. Two patients had unilateral STN DBS...
