Impulsive action tendencies in GPi DBS Parkinson’s patients
Objective: To test the effects of GPi DBS on susceptibility to impulsive action errors and the proficiency of reactive inhibitory control to counteract interference from…Improvement of levodopa induced foot dystonia with 60 Hz frequency subthalamic- deep brain stimulation
Objective: To present a case of levodopa induced foot dystonia that improved with 60Hz frequency subthalamic- deep brain stimulation. Background: Deep Brain Stimulation is an…Safety and clinical effects of NTCELL® [immunoprotected (alginate-encapsulated) porcine choroid plexus cells for xenotransplantation] in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD): 81 to 130 weeks follow-up
Objective: To follow the clinical status of 4 PD patients transplanted with NTCELL out to 81-130 weeks. Background: NTCELL comprises neonatal porcine choroid plexus cells…Effect of unilateral subthalamic deep brain stimulation in highly asymmetric Parkinson’s disease: 7- year follow-up
Objective: To evaluate the long-term outcome of unilateral STN DBS in highly asymmetric patients with PD. Background: Unilateral STN DBS is suggested to be a…Multiple-source current steering in bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease: Our experience
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and side effects of a multiple-source, constant-current device in a Latin-American population of patients with PD. Background: Timmermann et al.…Can stimulation of deep brain tissue improve the expression of the mouth in Parkinson’s disease patients?
Objective: To observe if stimulation of deep brain tissue can improve expression of the mouth in Parkinson's disease patients. Background: Masked facies or hypomimia is…Electrophysiological activity of anatomically identified STN subterritories in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To characterize the electrophysiological activity of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) functional subterritories, as anatomically defined on fused CT/MRI images or by the recording tract…Single versus multiple microelectrode recordings (MER) in STN-DBS-surgery for PD: A randomized double-blind controlled trial
Objective: To evaluate whether using multiple versus single MER-guidance peroperatively influence improvement of motor symptoms by STN-DBS in advanced PD. Background: It is well established…Incidence and characteristics of gait dysfunction after subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation
Objective: To identify the effects of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation on gait kinematics in patients with PD and describe the incidence of gait dysfunction…Clinical outcome of constant current deep brain stimulation in patients with medication-refractory essential tremor
Objective: To evaluate, for the first time, the safety and efficacy of long-term ventralis intermedius (Vim) constant current deep brain stimulation (DBS) in essential tremor…
