A randomized double-blind crossover trial comparing subthalamic and pallidal deep brain stimulation for dystonia

The authors' aim was to compare the subthalamic nucleus (STN) with the globus pallidus internus (GPi) as a stimulation target for deep brain stimulation (DBS) for medically refractory dystonia. In a prospective double-blind crossover study, electrodes were bilaterally implanted in the STN and G...
