Who May Benefit From On ‐Demand Control of Deep Brain Stimulation? Noninvasive Evaluation of Parkinson Patients

ConclusionsRo values can be used for selection of optimal DS* in ODC. Three of nine patients were found to be tremor‐free without stimulation for >50% of total time with even up to 80% in one patient. Patients with low Ro may not benefit from ODC in DBS, where the trade‐off between having side‐effects and using ODC system will need to be assessed.
