Jaw opening dystonia and blepharospasm following bilateral VIM DBS for postural and action dystonic tremor
Objective: We report an elderly patient with jaw opening dystonia and blepharospasm post-bilateral thalamic DBS performed for atypical dystonic tremor. Background: Ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM)…Weight changes in PD patients post-DBS: A look at the factors involved
Objective: To evaluate the factors associated with weight changes in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients after deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. Background: DBS is a well-established…Prospective evaluation of pallidal deep brain stimulation in Huntington’s disease
Objective: To prospectively evaluate the effect of bilateral pallidal deep brain stimulation (DBS) on motor symptoms, activities of daily living and quality of life in…High voltage stimulation of the VIM thalamus mimicking PSP in a patient with ET + PD
Objective: To report a case of an 81 year-old male with ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) deep brain stimulation (DBS) for essential tremor (ET) who developed…Health related quality of life in patient with Parkinson’s disease using deep brain stimulators (DBS)- A cross sectional study
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the Health Related Quality of Life before and after the placement of Deep brain stimulators in patients with Parkinson's…Long-term responsive deep brain stimulation in Tourette syndrome
Objective: To develop and measure the effectiveness of responsive deep brain stimulation for the treatment of Tourette syndrome. Background: Tourette's Syndrome (TS) is a paroxysmal…Increasing placebo response in Parkinson’s disease through apomorphine pre-conditioning
Objective: To see whether a placebo response requires pharmacological pre-conditioning with apomorphine. Background: Placebos have been found to affect the patient's brain in a number…DBS outcomes in a mixed cohort of dystonia: A single center experience
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and complications of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of globus pallidus interna (GPi) in a mixed cohort of dystonia patients. Background:…The clinical benefit of pallidal stimulation in dystonia is related to the electrode position in the medio-lateral direction
Objective: To detect the relationship between the long-term clinical outcome of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients with dystonia and the electrode position in the…DIRECT DBS: A prospective, multi-center clinical trial with blinding for a directional DBS lead
Objective: DIRECT DBS is an exploratory study which will investigate the effects of subthalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) using directional DBS leads with current steering…
