abstract = {The effect of subthalamic stimulation (STN-DBS) on
patients’ personal satisfaction with life and their
Parkinson’s disease (PD) treatment is understudied, as is
its correlation with quality of life (QoL). Therefore, we
tested the hypothesis that STN-DBS for PD enhances
satisfaction with life and treatment. In a prospective,
multicenter study with a 6-month follow-up involving 121
patients, we measured the main outcomes using the
Satisfaction with Life and Treatment Scale (SLTS-7).
Secondary outcomes included the eight-item PD Questionnaire
(PDQ-8), European QoL Questionnaire (EQ-5D-3L), EQ-Visual
Analogue Scale (VAS), Non-Motor Symptom Scale (NMSS),
Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Unified PD
Rating Scale (UPDRS). Longitudinal outcome changes, effect
sizes (Cohen’s d), and correlations between outcome
changes were analyzed. SLTS-7 scores improved at the 6-month
follow-up, particularly in the domains of ‘satisfaction
with physical health’ and ‘satisfaction with
treatment’. Change scores correlated strongly (EQ-VAS),
moderately (PDQ-8 SI and HADS), and weakly (UPDRS-activities
of daily living and EQ-5D-3L) with other scales.
Satisfaction with physical health, psychosocial well-being,
or treatment was not related to UPDRS-motor examination.
This study provides evidence that STN-DBS enhances
patients’ personal satisfaction with life and treatment.
This satisfaction is associated with improvements in the
QoL, daily activities, and neuropsychiatric aspects of PD
rather than its motor aspects.Keywords: treatment
