Implanted Brain-Computer Interface for communication in people with motor impairment
Objective: In people with movement disorder communication can be challenging and depends heavily on their caregiver. Here we describe an ALS-patient utilizing the first fully…Predictors of Patient Satisfaction with Rechargeable Deep Brain Stimulator Implantable Pulse Generators
Objective: To assess predictors of patient satisfaction with rechargeable implantable pulse generators (IPGs) Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective therapy for Parkinson Disease…Safety of Unilateral and Bilateral DBS implants in ET: Preliminary results from Product Surveillance Registry
Objective: To compare the safety of unilateral (Uni) to bilateral (Blt) DBS implants in Essential Tremor (ET). Background: DBS is an effective therapy in reducing…SweetSpot of antidystonic effect in pallidal neurostimulation: a European multicentre imaging study
Objective: We investigated Volumes of Tissue activated (VTA) in dystonia subjects under DBS. We aimed to disentangle the SweetSpot for dystonia suppression within the pallidal region.…Focused neuromodulation by short pulse width improves gait ataxia in thalamic DBS
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of selective neuromodulation to overcome stimulation-induced gait ataxia in patients with essential tremor (ET) and thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS).…Differences in the oscillatory activity of the globus pallidus in dystonia, parkinson´s disease and gilles de la tourette syndrome
Objective: To compare local field potentials features in Parkinson´s disease (PD), dystonia and Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) recorded from the Globus Pallidus internus…Physical but not mental aspects of health-related quality of life are improved in 10-year long-term follow-up of deep brain stimulation for segmental dystonia
Objective: Evaluation of long-term outcome of chronic deep brain stimulation (DBS) for segmental dystonia with an emphasis on quality of life. Background: DBS has been…Evolution of Globus Pallidus Internus (GPi) Deep Brain Stimulation Targeting Over 15 Years
Objective: To evaluate the evolution of GPi DBS targeting over time in a large single center cohort. Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting the globus…What does the severity of hemifacial spasm mean to us?
Objective: We investigated the clinical meaning of the severity of hemifacial spasm (HFS) in the patients who performed microvascular decompression (MVD). Background: Even though the most…Treatment Outcomes for Deep Brain Stimulation in Sex-Linked Dystonia Parkinsonism (XDP, DYT3) Up To 60 Months Follow-up – A Case Series
Objective: This case series presented the treatment outcomes of the eight (8) XDP patients who underwent DBS in a tertiary hospital and compared it to previous…
