Development of hyperkinesias after long term pallidal stimulation for dystonia
Objective: Recent reports on the occurrence of bradykinetic symptoms like freezing, postural instability and micrographia after chronic DBS of the GPi in patients with dystonia…Predicting medication reduction in Parkinson’s disease patients after deep brain stimulation
Objective: To determine which factors predict medication reduction for Parkinson's disease (PD) patients after deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN). Background:…Rechargeable pacemaker technology in deep brain stimulation: A step forward, but nor for everyone
Objective: Since a few years rechargeable pacemaker technology is available in deep brain stimulation. This technical innovation becomes more and more important in clinical practice,…Tractography patterns of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation
Objective: To assess the connectivity patterns that characterize clinically beneficial electrodes in Parkinson's disease patients, after deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus. Background: Deep…Can a leopard changes its spots? How impulse control disorder affects subthalamic stimulation paradigm
Objective: To study the effect of previous impulse control disorders (ICD) on subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) programming in subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD).…Is the PPN a valuable target for deep brain stimulation in treatment of Parkinsonian disorders? Experience of a patient’s series
Objective: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) has been reported to improve motor symptoms in idiopathic (IPS) and in atypical Parkinsonian syndromes…Effectiveness and micro-electrodes findings of deep brain stimulation of the STN via a parietal approach in post-infectious previously implanted Parkinson´s patients
Objective: To report our experience with an alternative entry point to access STN in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) and its micro-electrodes findings. Background:…DBS of the STN in 44 patients with Parkinson’s disease – Radiological and clinical outcome
Objective: Precision in implantation of deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes relies on systematic interdisciplinary planning and intra-operative testing and needs to be discussed along with…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…Alpha-synuclein gene variants may predict neurostimulation outcome
Objective: We aim to predict both treatment efficacy and disease progression in PD patients with subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation therapy (STN-DBS) by genotyping of…
