Depressive symptoms in Brazilian Parkinson's disease patients treated with subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation: A Cross-Sectional study.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurological disorder that primarily affects movement and is often accompanied by depressive symptoms. Subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) has emerged as a therapeutic intervention for PD, although its impact on depressive symptoms remains complex. This study investigates the relationship between PD, DBS, and depressive symptoms, focusing on how DBS influences cognitive function and mood among PD patients in Brazil.

Executive Functions in Parkinson's disease with and without Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS): A systematic review.

Unlabelled: Given the aging of the world population, it is essential to investigate which methods are most effective for treating the diseases that manifest with age. This study addresses Parkinson's disease (PD), for which Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has been increasingly used to treat the disease.

Objective: To investigate Executive Functions (EF) in patients with and without DBS.
