Long-term clinical outcome of deep brain stimulation in pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration: a retrospective observational study
Objective: To report the long-term clinical follow-up data of PKAN patients who underwent DBS implantation in three tertiary movement disorder centers. Background: Pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration…The actual use of directional steering and shorter pulse width in selected patients undergoing deep brain stimulation
Objective: To evaluate in which patients, selected to receive a directional Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) system, the advanced stimulation features were actually used. Background: New…Impact of device-aided therapies on QoL and Off-time improvement in advanced Parkinson’s Disease patients: Comparative effectiveness results from a Bayesian Network Meta-Analysis
Objective: To compare off-time and QoL changes among APD patients taking LCIG, DBS, CSAI, and BMT at 6 months after therapy initiation. Background: Advanced Parkinson’s…Safety and efficacy of unilateral subthalamotomy by magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) in asymmetrical Parkinson’s disease (PD).
Objective: To report motor and nonmotor outcomes after unilateral MRgFUS subthalamotomy for the treatment of asymmetrical PD. Background: The development of MRgFUS as a minimally…Deep brain stimulation of the pallidofugal pathways to rescue severe brittle dyskinesias after STN-DBS lead implantation
Objective: To present a case with a severe life-threatening microlesion effect related with STN DBS rescued with a tractography-guided neuromodulation approach Background: Microlesion effect have…Frequency and outcome of intraoperative lead adjustment in awake deep brain stimulation surgery in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the frequency of intraoperative adjustment of lead placement in patients undergoing awake subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS…Acute Onset, Unilateral Restless Leg Syndrome after Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation
Objective: To describe a case of acute onset, unilateral restless leg syndrome (RLS) after subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease. Background:…Personality dimensions could be predictive of quality-of-life outcome after deep brain stimulation of the sub-thalamic nucleus in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: Our objective was to evaluate associations between personality dimensions and Quality of Life (QoL) amelioration after one year of Deep Brain Stimulation of the…Reasons for refusing deep brain stimulation in patients with Parkinson’s disease: a retrospective 10-year study
Objective: To analyze main reasons for refusing DBS in PD patients referred to Movement Disorders Center (MDC) and then to DBS-center over the period 2008–2018.…Monitoring electrophysiological parameters in PD patients enrolled for MRgFUS: l’Aquila-tor Vergata experience
Objective: To ascertain whether the implementation of an extensive battery of neurophysiological tests may contribute to ameliorating the long-lasting success rate and of Magnetic resonance-guided…
