Key clinical milestones 15 years and onwards after DBS-STN surgery – a retrospective analysis of patients that underwent surgery between 1993 and 2001
Objective: In this paper we investigated patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) operated at our center with subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) for at…Directional distribution of subthalamic nucleus beta activity in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the spatial distribution of subthalamic nucleus (STN) beta activity in Parkinson’s disease (PD) recorded from directional deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes. Background:…Displacement of deep brain stimulation (DBS) lead location after implantation: Preliminary result of a study comparing early Vs late CT findings
Objective: To investigate the cause and to minimize the lead location displacement after DBS implantation Background: Precise targeting is the key towards successful deep brain stimulation…Longitudinal changes in speech and voice functions after subthalamic stimulation in Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: To elucidate longitudinal changes of speech and voice functions in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients treated with subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS). Background: Previously,…Automated DBS Contact Selection using Coherence in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To investigate whether subthalamic nucleus (STN)-EMG coherence can be used to predict the most effective deep brain stimulation (DBS) contact. Background: Although DBS is…Effect of bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation on quality of life in advanced Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: To evaluate the effect of bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation( STN DBS) on motor control, quality of life (QOL) and cognition in a cohort of…Degree, onset and longevity of benefit achieved with Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) as assessed by the UPDRS.
Objective: To show the degree, onset and longevity of benefit achieved with STN DBS at our center. Background: At our center, we administer the UPDRS-III…Spinal cord stimulation reduces freezing of gait and improves gait in advanced Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The primary objective was to investigate the therapeutic effect of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) on gait dysfunction including freezing of gait (FOG) in advanced…Contact location and non-motor outcomes in subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine whether the precise location of stimulation affects cognitive performance and mood. Background: Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus effectively treats the…Patient characteristics vary by DBS indication in Parkinson disease patients
Objective: To determine whether there are clinical differences in Parkinson disease (PD) patients based on their indication for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. Background: Deep…
