Abstract:
In five patients with medically refractory tardive dystonia, continuous bilateral high-frequency stimulation of the globus pallidus internus was associated with a rapid (within 12 to 72 hours) and substantial (mean 87%, 10.7 SD of the motor part of the Burke-Fahn-Marsden Dystonia Rating Scale) improvement of dystonia and functional disability without adverse events.
