Dopamine transporter imaging predicts motor response to dopaminergic therapy for patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease: Possible role in patient selection for subthalamic deep brain stimulation.
Objective: To investigate the possible role of dopamine transporter (DAT) imaging in patient selection for subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) surgery, we retrospectively investigated the…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…A multi-site survey of Parkinson’s disease deep brain stimulation center best practice: moving toward a standard of care for DBS
Objective: To survey how Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Centers handle referrals and peri-operative (surgical and non-surgical) treatment of persons with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Currently…Evaluating the effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in mice with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA1)
Objective: To determine the therapeutic effects of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in mice with Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA1). Background: Ataxia is a movement disorder affecting balance…Effect of frequency modulation on freezing of gait in PD patients after bilateral STN DBS
Objective: To study various frequency settings and to identify the optimal frequency of bilateral subthalamic nuclei deep brain stimulation (DBS) for improvement in gait in…Tractographic patterns of effective pallidal DBS in DYT-6 Dystonia: A case study
Objective: To characterize DBS tractographic patterns in a patient with novel DYT-6 mutation with rapid response to stimulation. Background: GPi DBS is an effective treatment…Non-motor outcomes of subthalamic stimulation in Parkinson’s disease depend on the location of active contacts
Objective: To investigate the impact of active electrode contact location on non-motor outcomes in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain…Suppression of dyskinesia in Parkinson’s disease by electrical stimulation of dorsal subthalamic nucleus tissue
Objective: The objectives of this study were to investigate suppression of dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients who had previously undergone deep brain stimulation (DBS)…Spinal cord stimulation improves freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease in chronic implanted stn-dbs patients: A case report
Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate further the potential role of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) as a treatment for gait disturbances and…The effect of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on sequential motor skill learning in persons with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To examine the potential effect of tDCS on the acquisition of implicit sequential motor skill learning in persons with PD (pwPD). Background: Due to…
