Abstract

The article presents a study that examines if urinary incontinence is a consequence of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPTg) in Parkinson's disease. It mentions several researches, which aim to determine the connection of urinary incontinence in DBS, however, most of them display uncertain results. It also suggests the need for research to conduct further study on the condition to provide accurate result.
