A dominant bursting electromyograph pattern in dystonic conditions predicts an early response to pallidal stimulation.
Although chronic pallidal deep brain stimulation (DBS) is effective in the treatment of medically intractable dystonia, there is no way of predicting the variations in clinical outcome, partly due to our limited understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this condition. We recorde...
