Tailored deep brain stimulation optimization for improved airway protective outcomes in Parkinson's disease

There is no consensus regarding the effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery on swallowing outcomes in Parkinson's disease (PD). No prospective studies have compared airway protective outcomes following DBS to the subthalamic nucleus (STN) versus globus pallidus interna (GPi). A recent r...
