Abstract:BackgroundTremor in Parkinson's disease (PD) has an inconsistent response to levodopa and subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN‐DBS).ObjectivesTo identify predictive factors of PD tremor responsiveness to levodopa and STN‐DBS.Material and MethodsPD patients with upper limb tremor who underwent STN‐DBS were included. The levodopa responsiveness of tremor (overall, postural and rest sub‐components), was assessed using the relevant UPDRS‐III items performed during the pre‐operative assessment.
