Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) in the South African population. Background: RLS is a…Deep Brain Stimulation for Dystonia: A Single-center Experience
Objective: To report on deep brain stimulation (DBS) outcomes in dystonia and related movement disorders at Mass General Brigham (MGB) hospitals. Background: Dystonia is a…Deep brain stimulation of the pallidofugal pathways to rescue severe brittle dyskinesias after STN-DBS lead implantation
Objective: To present a case with a severe life-threatening microlesion effect related with STN DBS rescued with a tractography-guided neuromodulation approach Background: Microlesion effect have…Retrospective Review of Globus Pallidus Deep Brain Stimulation Electrode Contact Locations and Clinical Outcomes in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To evaluate the location of therapeutic electrode contacts and correlate those with the clinical outcomes of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus…Quality of life after Globus Pallidus vs Subthalamic nucleus DBS; insights from the Parkinson’s Outcomes Project registry.
Objective: To assess differences in quality of life between Globus Pallidus internus (Gpi) or Subthalamic (STN) nucleus deep brain stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson’s Disease (PD)…Sleep assessment with Fitbit4 in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the sleep characteristics in PD patients using Fitbit4, as a wearable objective measure of sleep for…Accuracy in Detection of Performance of Activities of Daily Living in Subjects with Parkinson’s Disease by Using Inertial Sensors and Decision Tree Classifiers
Objective: To obtain an accurate method for the detection of activities of daily living (ADL) in subjects with Parkinson’s disease (PD) by using inertial sensors…Quantitative gait analysis using a pose-estimation algorithm with a single 2D-video of PD patients
Objective: To develop an easily accessible and objective tool to evaluate gait in PD patients, we analyzed gait from a single 2-dimensional (2D) video. Background:…
