abstract：OBJECTIVE:Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the internal segment of the globus pallidus (GPi) is an alternative therapy in ameliorating the clinical symptoms of primary Meige syndrome. Nevertheless, proof of its efficacy and safety is insufficient due to several case reports and small-sample clinical studies. This study ...
