Clinical vignetteA 73-year-old woman with Parkinson's disease (PD) underwent implantation of bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulators (STN-DBS) to address bilateral upper extremity medication-refractory tremor. Post-operatively, she experienced a "see-saw effect" where small increases in stimulation resulted in improvement in one symptom (tremor) with concurrent worsening in another (dyskinesia).Clinical dilemmaSID is usually considered a positive predictor of DBS outcome. However, there are cases where SID cannot be optimized. Lead location and pre-operative characteristics may contribute to this adverse effect. If the combination of programming and medication adjustments fails to resolve SID, what can be done to "rescue" the outcome?Clinical solutionManagement of SID requires a gradual and steadfast programming approach. Post-operative lead localization can guide advanced programming and decision-making. Rescue surgical interventions may be considered.Gap in knowledgeIn cases where SID is persistent despite deploying persistent optimization strategies, there is limited guidance on next steps.
