Chen Ling. Medication after deep brain stimulation operation in Parkinson’s disease[J]. Journal of Chongqing Medical University, 2017,42(6):655-658. DOI: 10.13406/j.cnki.cyxb.001269.
Medication should be combined with programming in patients with Parkinson’s disease after deep brain stimulation(DBS)surgery. This article summarizes postoperation medication from less than one year to fifteen years in Parkinsonian patients receiving DBS. Levodopa equivalent daily dosage(LEDD)should be reduced in controlling motor symptoms. Drugs used to improve non-motor symptoms might be similar with that preoperation.
