Retrospective cohort analysis shows similar outcomes for GPi-DBS and STN-DBS in dystonia patients, suggesting both are effective options.

To compare the efficacy and safety of GPi-DBS and STN-DBS in patients with Meige syndrome.
Retrospective cohort study involving patients with Meige syndrome undergoing GPi-DBS or STN-DBS.
Utilized propensity score matching to create balanced groups for comparison.
Primary outcomes measured included BFMDRS-M subscore improvements at 3-month and final follow-up.
Both GPi-DBS and STN-DBS showed significant improvement in motor symptoms with no significant difference between groups.
STN-DBS required more programming adjustments compared to GPi-DBS.
Adverse event rates were similar for both groups.

Wu et al. (2025) studied this question.
