Bilateral Globus pallidus internus deep brain stimulation as rescue therapy for ineffective subthalamic stimulation
Objective: The subthalamic nucleus (STN) and the globus pallidus internus (GPi) are the main targets of deep brain stimulation surgery (DBS) for patients with advanced…Online determination of the STN “sweet spot” based on beta-power measured with directional macro-contacts of the final DBS lead
Objective: Microelectrode recordings are the standard procedure for intraoperative, electrophysiological mapping of the STN[1]. We investigated a novel methodology to detect the STN sweet spot…Three-dimensional gait analysis of the effect of directional steering in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of directional steering on the gait performance in Parkinson’s disease (PD), utilizing a three-dimensional…Apraxia of Eye Lid Opening in patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease undergoing subthalamic stimulation – a single-centre experience.
Objective: We aimed to assess the cumulative incidence of apraxia of eye lid opening (AOELO) in patients who have undergone bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain…Preoperative Smoking History Increases Risk of Infection in Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery
Objective: Although general risk of deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy has been previously described, application of risk prediction at the individual patient level is still…Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson’s disease: the Paradox of More Technological Approaches
Objective: To assess the subjective experience/expectations of Parkinson’s disease(PD) patients who have undergone deep brain stimulation(DBS) using either an established(Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) or newer…Use of directional stimulation to localize and troubleshoot STN-related contralateral gaze deviation: a case report
Objective: To report a case in which STN stimulation-induced gaze deviation was mapped and managed using directional lead programming. Background: Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of…Effect of global cognitive score on motor and quality of life outcomes after deep brain stimulation in patients with Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor
Objective: To determine if preoperative global cognitive score, Mattis Dementia Rating Scale 2nd Edition (DRS-2), predicts motor and quality of life (QoL) outcomes in patients…Low and high beta band activity in the primary sensorimotor cortex is diminished by ipsilateral subthalamic stimulation in Parkinsonian patients
Objective: We analyzed how change of the low and high beta power in the primary sensorimotor cortex relates to different levels of subthalamic stimulation; we…Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in Pantothenate Kinase-Associated Neurodegeneration (PKAN): An Experience in a Thai Patient
Objective: To report a patient with PKAN whose dystonia improved with bilateral pallidal (GPi) DBS. Background: The benefits of GPi DBS are well-recognized in primary…
