BackgroundPallidal neurostimulation is an effective treatment for severe isolated dystonia, but long-term data from clinical trials are lacking.ObjectivesTo evaluate long-term efficacy and safety of pallidal neurostimulation in patients with isolated generalized or segmental dystonia.MethodsExtension study of the prospective multicenter trial (n = 40; July 2002 to May 2004), all patients received effective stimulation and underwent regular follow-up. The 10-year follow-up (n = 31) included Burke-Fahn-Marsden Dystonia Rating Scale (BFMDRS) motor and disability score, Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory, and Mattis Dementia Rating Scale. Primary and secondary endpoints compared motor symptoms, disability scores, mood, and cognition changes.ResultsThirty-one patients (12 female), aged 23-72 years, completed the 10-year study extension. Per protocol analysis showed sustained significant improvement in BFMDRS motor scores at 10 years compared with baseline, without significant change from the 6-month or 5-year follow-up. On average, motor scores decreased by 25.3 ± 5.2 points at 10 years (P ConclusionsThis study presents the longest prospective, multicenter follow-up of pallidal neurostimulation in generalized and segmental dystonia. Two-thirds of patients showed strong and stable long-term improvements of dystonia, confirming sustained efficacy and safety over 10 years in treatment-refractory dystonic patients. However, one-third experienced primary (3/40) or secondary (10/40) treatment failure. Diagnostic advances, including genetic testing, and technological progress in pallidal neurostimulation may help to reduce the non-responder rates in the future. © 2025 The Author(s).
