Effects of Pallidal Deep Brain Stimulation on Speech and Swallowing in Pediatric Patients with Dystonia
GPi-DBS did not significantly change FDA-2 scores pre- and post-DBS. Assessing speech and swallowing in pediatric patients with dystonia, impaired expressive language and/or intellectual disability is challenging. More comprehensive and patient-centered assessment tools are needed to fully capture DBS effects on these domains in these complex disabled patients.
