The aim of this investigation is to explore the effect of reducing conventional pulse width of stimulation on known adverse effects of Subthalamic nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation (STN DBS) treatment such as; slurring of speech, gait impairment, and unsteadiness. This investigation is designed such that each of 16 patients (who have all had chronically implanted DBS systems), will be assessed using conventional (DBS-60µs) and short (DBS-30µs) pulse width DBS, in a randomised order.
