Resumen
There was a 40% improvement in the YGTSS total score at 6-mo (P < . 001) and 45% at 12-mo (P < . 001) without statistical difference between the 3 targets. The registry results mirror those described in a systematic review and meta-analysis of DBS for TS that was published in 2016. These data nonetheless should encourage movement disorder groups to consider treating refractory TS with DBS. The development of standardized surgical criteria will be helpful for identifying appropriate patients for evaluation.
