Fig. 4 — a Improvements of quality of life validated by the short form 36 (SF36) at baseline and long-term follow-up. Scores were available from 14 of the 19 patients (n = 7 [GD] and n = 7 [CD/SD]). Compared to baseline, QoL had ameliorated significantly in all areas of the SF36-physical component summary (PCS) and in the subitem ‘role emotional’ of the SF36-mental component summary (MCS) at LT-FU. Subitems of MCS are indicated by °. 100 points correspond to the maximal degree of QoL. b Correlation between improvement of QoL and motor improvement with long-term DBS in absolute numbers. *p < 0.05
