Effect of STN-DBS frequency on cortical excitability and motor performance in Parkinson's disease

ConclusionsStimulation of STN at 80 Hz and 130 Hz may have different effects on proximal and distal muscle control. One hundred and thirty Hertz may have a small advantage for distal hand muscles, whereas 80 Hz is more effective in improving proximal muscle function.
