Effect of Directional Deep Brain Stimulation on Sensory Thresholds in Parkinson ’s Disease

ConclusionMotor benefit can be acutely maintained at directional contacts, whereas directional stimulation can modulate thermal and mechanical sensitivity. Further investigation will determine whether these changes are maintained chronically or can be improved with optimized programming.
