Deep brain stimulation in late stage Parkinson's disease: a retrospective cost analysis in Germany.

abstract：:Cognitive features, which begin before manifestation of the motor features, are an integral part of Huntington's disease and profoundly affect quality of life. A number of neuropsychological batteries have been used to assess this aspect of the condition, many of which are difficult to administer and time consuming, e...
