Ten patients with severe cervical dystonia (CD) unresponsive to medical treatment underwent bilateral globus pallidus internus (GPi) deep brain stimulation (DBS) and were followed for 31.9 +/- 20.9 months. At last follow-up, the Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS) severity score improved by 54.8%, the TWSTRS disability score improved by 59.1%, and the TWSTRS pain score improved by 50.4%. Bilateral GPi DBS is an effective long-term therapy in patients with CD.
10例药物治疗无效的重度颈部肌张力障碍(CD)患者接受了双侧内侧苍白球(GPi)深部脑刺激(DBS)治疗,并随访了31.9±20.9个月。在最后一次随访时,多伦多西部痉挛性斜颈评定量表(TWSTRS)严重程度评分改善了54.8%,TWSTRS残疾评分改善了59.1%,TWSTRS疼痛评分改善了50.4%。双侧GPi DBS是治疗CD患者的一种有效的长期疗法。
