BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to assess @entity146 and social outcome 12 months after bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus pars interna (GPi) and subthalamic nucleus (STN) for advanced @entity191 ( @entity191 ). METHODS: We randomly assigned @entity1 to receive GPi DBS (n   =   65) or STN DBS (n   =   63). Standardized @entity146 and social questionnaires were assessed at baseline and after 12 months. RESULTS: No differences were found between GPi DBS and STN DBS on @entity146 evaluation. Within-group comparisons showed small but statistically significant changes on several measures in both groups. Descriptive statistics indicated slight changes in social functioning. Marital satisfaction of @entity1 and partners remained relatively stable after GPi and STN DBS. CONCLUSIONS: We found neither differences in @entity146 and social outcome between GPi DBS and STN DBS nor any relevant within-group differences. The decision for GPi DBS or STN DBS cannot be based on expected @entity146 or social effects.    2015 International Parkinson and @entity717 Society.
