Clinical TrialWord-level intelligibility after caudal zona incerta stimulation for Parkinson's disease.
To investigate the effect of caudal zona incerta-deep brain stimulation (cZi-DBS) on word-level speech intelligibility in patients with Parkinson's disease, under both an optimal listening condition and a simulated more naturalistic listening condition. ⋯ The results of this study indicate that cZi-DBS in patients with PD can be detrimental to word-level speech intelligibility.
