Overview

Narrative review discusses DBS effects on dysphagia in Parkinson's disease, suggesting mixed outcomes on swallowing functions.

Key Points

  • DBS may improve swallowing reflex initiation and reduce aspiration risk in Parkinson's disease, yet results are inconsistent.
  • The review highlights variability in outcomes due to factors like stimulation parameters and target areas.
  • Assessment methods and individual characteristics contribute to the mixed results observed with DBS.
  • Future studies should focus on larger sample sizes and standardized protocols to clarify DBS's long-term efficacy for dysphagia.
