Surgical replacement of implantable pulse generators in deep brain stimulation: Adverse events and risk factors in a multicenter cohort
Objective: To investigate the incidence of adverse events and postoperative infections of IPG replacements in a multicenter cohort. Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a…Idiopathic delayed-onset edema surrounding deep brain stimulation leads: Insights from a case series and systematic literature review
Objective: We present a multicenter case series of patients with idiopathic delayed-onset edema (IDE) surrounding the deep brain stimulation (DBS) leads, and a systematic literature…Articulography reveals disturbed speech motor control in ET patients treated with VIM-DBS
Objective: We investigate the effect of VIM-DBS on speech production in patients with ET. Background: Dysarthria is a common side effect of VIM-DBS. In recent…Bacterial biofilm formation on neurostimulation systems
Objective: The aim of this study is to identify specifically the DNA of bacterial biofilm on neurostimulation systems using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Background: Bacterial…Effectiveness of bilateral pallidal deep brain stimulation in a patient with dystonia associated to neurodegenerative ataxia: Follow-up to 18 months
Objective: CASE REPORT Background: The dystonia like others movement disorder may be included in neurodegenerative ataxia syndrome, in addition to cerebellar dysfunction. The pallidal stimulation…Effects of deep brain stimulation in the nucleus entopeduncularis on neuronal network activity after apomorphine-induced deficient sensorimotor gating in a rat model
Objective: Deficient sensorimotor gating induced by dopamine receptor agonists is used as an endophenotype for certain neuropsychiatric disorders, such as Tourette´s syndrome (TS), schizophrenia, and…Functional motor outcomes after globus pallidus internus deep brain stimulation in Huntington´s disease – A case report
Objective: The aim of this study was to analyse the motor outcome before and after 6 month follow-up in a HD patient treated by GPi-DBS.…Does GPi-DBS help non motor symptoms in cervical dystonia patients? A retrospective study of 17 patients
Objective: To study the efficacy of GPi DBS surgery in improving dystonia related severity, disability and pain as well as quality of life in medically…Results from a double-blind trial of pallidal DBS for Tourette’s syndrome: Are there any predictors of surgery outcome?
Objective: To explore whether individual patient characteristics can indicate response to treatment in a trial of bilateral globus pallidus internus (GPi) deep brain stimulation (DBS)…An international, randomized, sham controlled trial of focused ultrasound thalamotomy for essential tremor
Objective: To determine efficacy and safety of unilateral focused ultrasound thalamotomy for refractory essential tremor. Background: Recent advances in ultrasound transducer technology allow ultrasound to…
