Probabilistic mapping of deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s disease.
Objective: To find the neuroanatomical origins of deep brain stimulation (DBS) induced effects using probabilistic mapping. Background: While DBS of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and…Automatic discrimination between the striatum, Globus pallidus externa and Globus pallidus interna during deep brain stimulation surgery
Objective: Development of an algorithm to facilitate automatic detection of and discrimination between the striatum, globus pallidus externa (GPe) nd globus pallidus interna (GPi) during…Comparison of subthalamic and pallidal deep brain stimulation in treatment of Parkinson’s disease: a 5-year follow-up study
Objective: To assess and compare the long-term motor and functional outcome of subthalamic (STN) and pallidal (GPi) deep brain stimulation (DBS) in treatment of patients…The DBS response ratio: An individual benchmark parameter of DBS quality
Objective: The aim of this study is to define a simple clinical benchmark parameter for assessing the quality of STN-DBS outcome in PD. Background: Despite…Comparison of lead localization in postoperative CT versus MRI
Objective: Evaluation of lead position accuracy may be accomplished by postoperative CT or MRI. Image distortion induced by the lead contacts in MRI question the…First experience with 59 directional leads in deep brain stimulation
Objective: The feasibility of applying new directional leads (D-leads) in standard DBS procedures, possible difficulties or complications were the focus of this study. Background: DBS is…Postoperative delirium after deep brain stimulation surgery for Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the potential predictive factors of postoperative delirium after deep brain stimulation surgery for Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation…Factors determining the motor outcome of STN DBS in PD patients: Evidence for Dual Actions
Objective: We investigated factors determining the motor outcome of STN DBS in patients with Parkinson disease (PD). Background: The STN DBS has revolutionized the management…Effects of subthalamic and nigral stimulation on gait kinematics in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: In this work, we aimed to characterize the differential effect of subthalamic nucleus (STN) or substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr) stimulation on kinematic gait…Electrode Impedance as a marker for “on” and “off” states in a Deep Brain Stimulation cohort: A pilot study
Objective: To determine the possible use of electrical impedance as an easily measured surrogate measure for clinical changes in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) with…
