What can predict short and long-term outcome of bilateral Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson’s disease?
Objective: To define preoperative predictive factors of short- and long-term motor outcome from a large cohort of consecutive Parkinson’s Disease (PD) patients operated on with…Preoperative stratification of gait outcome from subthalamic nucleus stimulation
Objective: In this study we aimed to identify clinical and kinematic features that correlate to favorable freezing of gait (FOG) outcome from standard subthalamic neurostimulation…Change of extracellular glutamate and GABA level in striatum during deep brain stimulation of the entopeduncular nucleus in rats
Objective: Globus pallidus interna (GPi) is recognized as an effective treatment for advanced Parkinson’s disease. However, the neurochemical basis of its effects remains unknown. The…Long-term effects of bilateral subthalamic nucleus stimulation on sleep in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess long-term effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) on sleep in patients…Evaluating Perceptions of Deep Brain Stimulation in DBS-naïve Patients with Parkinson’s Disease – A Pilot Study
Objective: To examine perceptions of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD), with the aim of understanding common fears and concerns about…Predicting active electrode selection from atlas based targets and probabilistic sweetspots in STN DBS
Objective: To investigate whether neuroimaging can help in choosing effective electrodes in PD patients with deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN). Background:…Rapid improvement in dystonia after pallidal deep brain stimulation in a patient with myoclonus-dystonia syndrome: A case report
Objective: Describe the time course of clinical response to bilateral globus pallidus internus (GPi) deep brain stimulation (DBS) in a patient with myoclonus-dystonia syndrome (M-D),…A Pilot Study of Gamma Knife Radiosurgery Targeting the Subthalamic Nucleus in Elderly and Infirmed Parkinson’s Disease Patients Not Amenable to Deep Brain Stimulation
Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of unilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) gamma knife surgery (GKS) in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) not amenable to…Stereotactic Lesioning of Nucleus Accumbens for Treatment of Aggression in Mental Retardation
Objective: To present and discuss a case of stereotactic ablation of bilateral nucleus accumbens (NAc) in a mentally retarded patient to alleviate symptoms of severe aggression.…Does the magnitude of improvement of UPDRS III at the preoperative L-dopa test predict the degree of medication decrease one year after subthalamic nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation?
Objective: To investigate whether the magnitude of improvement in motor scores of the Unified Parkinson´s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS III) at the preoperative L-dopa challenge…
