Abstract | BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: METHODS: RESULTS: As of 2019, no impulsive control disorders, motor fluctuations, or DBS-related complications were observed during a 4-year follow-up, with 66% Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part III reduction at medication OFF state noted, whereas levodopa equivalent daily dosage decreased by almost half. CONCLUSIONS: STN-DBS may be considered as adjunct treatment for severe dopa-related motor/nonmotor complications in patients with parkinsonian phenotype of SCA 3.
