The Place of Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease: Spatial before Temporal Optimization
The clinical context of this viewpoint is the treatment of bradykinesia and rigidity, the motor symptoms most tightly linked to subthalamic beta oscillations and therefore the primary targets of both optimised conventional DBS and adaptive DBS. Better spatial programming before enabling adaptive mode is presented as the path to more consistent control of these specific symptoms.
