Abstract

For more than 15 years deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus and globus pallidus internus have become therapeutic options in advanced Parkinson's disease. The number of patients with long-term treatment is increasing steadily. This review focuses on issues of the long-term care of these Parkinson's patients, including differences of the available deep brain stimulation systems, recommendations for follow-up examinations, implications for medical diagnostics and therapies and an algorithm for symptom deterioration. Today, there is no profound evidence that deep brain stimulation prevents disease progression. However, symptomatic relief from motor symptoms is maintained during long-term follow-up and interruption of the therapy remains an exception.
