Local Field Potentials in Movement Disorders: A Narrative Review

LFPs provide fundamental insights into disease-specific neural oscillations across PD, ET, dystonia, tics, and chorea. Pathological patterns serve as reliable biomarkers of symptom states. By leveraging these signals, DBS can be more accurately targeted, programming can be streamlined, and long-term outpatient monitoring can be enhanced. aDBS based on LFP biomarkers is already in clinical use for PD, offering superior motor control and fewer side effects than conventional stimulation.
