Baseline scores are reported as raw values. For all other outcome parameters median change from baseline (follow-up –baseline) and range of change are reported. UPDRS is the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale part III, Hemi-UPDRS is-the treated hemibody UPDRS, CRST is Clinical Rating Scale for Tremor, and Hemi-CRST is the treated hemibody CRST. Negative values indicate improvement on all scales. p values are based on Wilcoxon signed rank test of changes (follow-up –baseline). *N = 25 for this item.
