Impact of Sub-Thalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation on Cognition and Behavior in Parkinson Patients
Objective: To assess cognitive and behavioral effects of the subthalamic nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation (STN-DBS) in patients with Parkinson disease (PD). Background: STN-DBS surgery has been…Long-term follow up of unilateral focused ultrasound subthalamotomy for the treatment of motor features in asymmetric PD
Objective: To report long-term outcome of unilateral MR-guided focused ultrasound(MRgFUS) subthalamotomy for the treatment of PD cardinal motor features. Background: The development of MRgFUS as…DBS in Parkinson’s disease: Experience from Egypt
Objective: To highlight our Experience in DBS for Parkinson’s in Egypt, to our knowledge we are the first team for DBS in Egypt, and so…Tractography-based targeting of the ventral intermediate nucleus for asleep DBS implantation
Objective: To report the first prospective application of a specific tractography-based targeting in asleep DBS patients with essential tremor. Background: The ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM)…Strategies to minimize complications in deep brain stimulation in a series of 240 DBS procedures
Objective: DBS may improve quality of life in advanced movement disorders, but bears a significant risk of early and late complications such as hemorrhage, infection…Directional leads in deep brain stimulation – surgical handling and evolving therapy options
Objective: To analyse the objective data and experiences in the application of directional leads (D-leads) in deep brain stimulation (DBS) for movement disorders. Background: Recent…Is reduction in UPDRS-3 OFF score the best indicator of response to DBS?
Objective: to evaluate the utility and correlates of UPDRS III OFF scores as indicators of response to DBS. Background: Changes in UPDRS III OFF scores…Symptomatic delayed-onset edema following deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease: occurrence, symptoms, management and outcomes. Experience of a single center.
Objective: To report on occurrence, symptoms, management and outcomes of SDE following DBS of either the subthalamic nucleus (STN) or Globus pallidum interna nucleus (GPi)…Deep Brain Stimulation as a Rescue When Duodenal Levodopa Infusion Fails: Report of 2 Cases
Objective: To describe two cases of patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) where deep brain stimulation (DBS) was used a rescue therapy when duodenal levodopa infusion…Combined STN and NBM DBS in PD and mild to moderate Parkinson’s dementia
Objective: While deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) alleviates Parkinson"s Disease(PD) related motor symptoms, to date PD dementia (PDD) patients are excluded…
