Figure 2. UPDRS-III in OFF conditions and oedema score change in PD patients (N = 12) during the study.

Figure 2

a) The UPDRS-III score before implantation (OFF state) in session 1, shortly after implantation of the electrode bilaterally to STN (OFF state) in session 2, and one month after implantation (OFF state) in session 3 examined each time after over-night withdrawal of antiparkinsonian medication and in the absence of DBS. b) PD patients (N = 6) examined 3 days after implantation showed lower UPDRS-III and higher total oedema score than patients (N = 6) examined 1 day after surgery; UPDRS-III – error bars (mean and SD); total oedema score – white line (median), vertical length of the box (interquartile range = IQR), whiskers (smallest score within 1.5 IQR of the lower quartile, and the highest score within 1.5 IQR of the upper quartile); ** (p<0.01), *** (p<0.001).
