Improved Severe Complex Idiopathic Adult Onset Truncal Dystonia with Axial Twisting by Bilateral Pallidal Stimulation: Case Report
Objective: We describe marked improvement of severe and complex adult onset idiopathic truncal dystonia, highlighting the challenging programing to achieve the best outcome. Background: Few case…Probabilistic response mapping in a cohort of mixed dystonia patients with bilateral pallidal DBS
Objective: Assess validity and feasibility of a probabilistic response mapping for isolated and combined dystonia. Background: Probabilistic response mapping is a promising tool to estimate the expected benefit of pallidal…Quality of life in ET and ET-plus patients with thalamic deep brain stimulation
Objective: To compare the quality of life (QOL) and activities of daily living (ADL) of patients with Essential Tremor (ET) and Essential Tremor plus (ET-p)…Treatment of medically refractory orthostatic tremor: deep brain stimulation of bilateral thalamic ventral intermediate nucleus with sustained symptomatic improvement
Objective: We describe a case of medically refractory orthostatic tremor successfully treated with deep brain stimulation in the ventral intermediate nucleus (Vim) of the thalamus.…Patients’ perception of Deep brain stimulation in generalized dystonia
Objective: In this study we want to see patients’ perception about deep brain stimulation (DBS) and the hardest symptoms perceived by patients with generalized dystonia…Utilization of New Visualization Software for Deep Brain Stimulation Programming Using a Multiple-Source, Constant-Rechargeable System
Objective: In this study, we describe the utilization of newly available visualization software for use as a deep brain stimulation (DBS) planning tool during the…Evolution of Freezing of Gait in Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation
Objective: To find out the evolution of freezing of gait (FoG) in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients who underwent subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS). Background:…Vertically-Stacked Single Segment Activation (VSSA) as a Programming Approach for Directional DBS in Globus Pallidus Internus (GPi) in Parkinson’s Disease (PD) Patients: First Clinical Case Series
Objective: Programming approach to optimize outcomes in PD patients implanted in GPi with directional DBS systems and to analyze volumes of tissue activation (VTAs) in…Parkinson disease phenotype classification predicts the outcome of deep brain stimulation
Objective: To analyze the differential response to subthalamic Deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) among different Parkinson’s disease (PD) phenotypes, as per the new PD subtype classification…Case series of unilateral subthalamotomy through implanted deep electrodes: rescue therapy in Parkinson’s disease patients submitted to deep brain stimulation surgery
Objective: Evaluate clinical benefit and safety of unilateral rescue subthalamotomy, concerning motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients, with partial or total deep brain stimulation…
