Abstract

After more than 2 decades since it was introduced, deep brain stimulation (DBS) has gained widespread popularity as a surgical treatment for medically refractory symptoms of Parkinson disease, essential tremor, and dystonia. In this chapter, authors review the benefits, risks, indications, limitations, and targets for DBS in patients with Parkinson disease, essential tremor, and dystonia. A brief outline of the DBS procedure and programming is also given. Copyright © 2010, American Academy of Neurology.
