All patients received bilateral STN DBS electrodes except for case 4. The dose of pramipexole is given as a salt. Psychiatric comorbidities were mania and compulsivity (1 case), hypersexuality (2 cases), depression (1 case), past history of gambling on dopamine agonist (1 case). UPDRS scores OFF medication/ON DBS were assessed at 6 months (a), 8 months (b), 10 months (c), or 1 year (unmarked) post-operatively. Subject 12 was assessed on 1 mg of rasagiline ON DBS (d).
