Authors' objectives:
To evaluate the effectiveness of deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery compared to neuroablative procedures in the treatment of complications of idiopathic PD.
Authors' recommendations:
The evidence available to date is insufficient to state that deep brain stimulation is more effective than neuroablative procedures in the treatment of complications of Parkinson’s disease. New randomized clinical trials are necessary to determine whether deep brain stimulation is more effective than neuroablative procedures in motor improvement and reduction of complications of levodopa.
