Long‐Term Outcomes of Deep Brain Stimulation in Woodhouse–Sakati Syndrome

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the long-term effects of deep brain stimulation in patients with Woodhouse–Sakati syndrome.
Case series analysis of patients with Woodhouse–Sakati syndrome
Assessment of clinical outcomes post bilateral GPi DBS
Clinical improvement noted in patients post deep brain stimulation
Recommendation for larger studies to confirm findings

Abstract

Our case series showed clinical improvement in patients who underwent bilateral GPi DBS as an advanced therapy for generalized dystonia secondary to WSS. We recommend further research on DBS in a larger sample of WSS patients to obtain significant results. © 2026 The Author(s).
