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…MR-guided high intensity focused ultrasound in Parkinson’s disease: A series of 5 cases
Objective: We present results of an ongoing trial of unilateral transcranial MR-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (tcMRgFUS) ablation of the pallido-thalamic tract (PTT, fasciculus thalamicus)…Difference between physiologically defined subthalamic nucleus target and final lead placement: Influence in clinical outcome
Objective: To evaluate distance between the physiologically defined subthalamic nucleus (STN) target and final lead placement, and its influence on the clinical outcome at 6…Evaluation of the accuracy of stereotactic DBS electrode implantation by post-operative image fusion
Objective: The precision in implantation of deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes based on pre-operative MRI planning is of utmost importance for the success of this…Improving parkinsonism in DBS poor-responders by surgical lead revision of subthalamic electrodes
Objective: If subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) results in poor symptom control or adverse side effects at low stimulation threshold surgical lead revision for optimal…Accuracy of intraoperative CT during DBS procedures: Comparison with postoperative MRI
Objective: To determine the accuracy of intraoperative CT (iCT) in localizing deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes by comparing this modality with postoperative magnetic resonance imaging…Speech 10 years post bilateral STN-DBS for Parkinson’s disease
Objective: This study reports on the type and severity of speech problems up to 10 years after bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic…A pilot study of horizontal current steering with chronically implanted segmented electrodes for STN-DBS in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the effect of horizontal current steering using a chronically implanted segmented lead and multiple independent current source technology on clinical effect and…Transcranial unilateral MR guided high intensity focused ultrasound in Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor seems to be save concerning dysphagia and dysarthria
Objective: To report first results of a study monitoring speech and swallowing function after lesional functional neurosurgery for movement disorders. Background: Transcranial MR-guided high intensity…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…
