Age-dependent efficacy of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation in young- and late-onset Parkinson's disease based on a 10 year follow-up

Long-term efficacy and safety of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN DBS) in patients with young-onset Parkinson's disease (YOPD) and late-onset PD (LOPD) (i.e. motor symptom initial appearance at ages ≤40 and > 40 years, respectively) was compared to identify relationships between PD onset age and the efficacy of DBS.
