Deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s disease: Selection criteria, post-surgery improvement and complications
Objective: The objective of our study is to specify the selection criteria necessary to benefit from deep brain stimulation, to study clinical progress and improvement…Freezing of Gait responsive to Low Frequency STN-DBS and Spinal Cord Stimulation
Objective: To demonstrate the combined effect of low frequency subthalamic nucleus-deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) and spinal cord stimulation (SCS) on gait in Parkinson’s disease. Background:…Long-term effect of deep brain stimulation in a monkey model of Parkinson’s disease with L-Dopa–induced dyskinesias
Objective: This study investigated the effect of long-term deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) on motor behavior in a parkinsonian monkey treated…An Objective Tool to Guide Target Selection for DBS in PD (GPi vs STN)- integration into Thomas Jefferson’s multidisciplinary Movement Disorders Center, an Update
Objective: After the creation of a tool to aid in target selection for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson’s disease (PD), our goal is to…Spinal Cord Stimulation on Parkinson’s disease: Continuous or intermittent stimulation?
Objective: To report the effects of continuous and intermittent spinal cord stimulation (SCS) on gait in two patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) with refractory gait…Neuroimaging Software Assisted Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Programming in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD)
Objective: To compare DBS programming results by novel neuroimaging software assisted programming approach versus standard of care approach in PD patients. Background: Traditional DBS programming…Unique speech change pattern in Parkinson’s disease after GPi deep brain stimulation
Objective: To characterize changes in speech and voice parameters in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) after globus pallidus interna (GPi) deep brain stimulation (DBS). Background:…“Motor” DDS: is motor sensitization underestimated after STN-DBS?
Objective: Dopamine dysregulation syndrome (DDS) is a phenomenon where Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients develop an addictive pattern of dopaminergic drug intake, mainly to avoid the…Subacute cognitive decline after DBS in a patient with idiopathic delayed-onset edema
Objective: To describe a patient who developed idiopathic delayed-onset edema (IDE) and cognitive decline three days after deep brain stimulation of subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS). Background: IDE…First Case of Tongue Twisting During Screening of STN DBS for Parkinson’s Disease: A Unique form of Pyramidal Tract Activation
Objective: STN-DBS is an effective,generally well-tolerated therapy in selected patients experiencing motor fluctuations,dyskinesia,resistant tremor despite oral/transdermal treatment. Side-effects can occur due to spread of electrical…
