GPi and [[subthalamic nucleus]] (STN) DBS improve motor function and activities of daily living for [[Parkinson's
disease]] (PD) patients. Differences in therapeutic efficacy for PD were not observed between the 2 procedures. STN DBS allowed greater reduction in medication for patients, whereas GPi DBS provided greater relief from psychiatric symptoms. An understanding of other symptomatic aspects of targeting each region and long-term observations on therapeutic effects are needed
