Deep brain stimulation for tardive syndromes: Systematic review and meta-analysis

Among the broad entity of tardive syndromes, tardive dystonia and classical tardive dyskinesia sometimes require advanced treatments like deep brain stimulation of the globus pallidus internum (Gpi-DBS) or the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS). This systematic review has analyzed the currently available literature reporting cases with either tardive dystonia or dyskinesia treated with DBS. The key words for the literature search included all tardive syndromes and “deep brain stimulation.” Thirty-four level VI studies and one level II study with 117 patients were included.
