Correlation between the improvement rate of DBS motor symptoms and drug improvement rate (the reduction rate of LEDD), the improvement rate of PDQ39 scores and the decement of LEDD and the improvement rate of motor symptoms: 6 months after surgery, 57 PD patients after STN-DBS. a DBS motor symptoms improvement rate (UPDRS-III scores in Med off) was positively correlated with drug improvement rate. b The improvement rate of PDQ39 scores was positively correlated with the improvement rate motor symptoms. c The decrease of LEDD is positively correlated with the improvement rate of motor symptoms . (STN-DBS: subthalamic nucleus-deep brain stimulation, UPDRS-III: Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale III, BBS: Berg Balance Scale, LEDD: Levodopa daily equivalent dose, PDQ-39: 39-Item Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire)
