Objective: To examine effect of preoperative expectations on postoperative satisfaction in individuals with PD treated with DBS Background: While clinical trials of DBS in PD…Postoperative Cognitive Impairment Following Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery
Objective: To evaluate what intraoperative factors contribute to impairment after deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in patients with essential tremor (ET) and Parkinson’s disease (PD).…Action tremor control with deep brain stimulation in patients with Parkinson’s disease: Specific target associations
Objective: To determine the effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) on action tremor in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and to identify if there are specific target…Baseline characteristics associated with greatest improvement in HRQL after DBS surgery
Objective: To determine the characteristics of DBS candidates associated with the greatest improvement in HRQL outcomes after surgery. Background: Site reviews of expert DBS centers…Interleaved Stimulation for Freezing of Gait in Advanced Parkinson’s Disease: A Pilot Study
Objective: To assess the effect of Interleaved Stimulation (ILS) in patients receiving subthalamic nucleus-Deep Brain Stimulation (STN-DBS), with Freezing of gait (FOG) unresponsive to medication and conventional…Combined Surgical Therapies for Optimal Management of Advanced Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: We report a case of a patient with advanced PD who began LCIG for refractory motor fluctuations while continuing longstanding STN-DBS. Background: LCIG and…Somnolence as untoward stimulation effect in subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN DBS) for Parkinson’s disease (PD)
Objective: Excessive daytime sleepiness is a relatively common feature in PD. However, it has not been reported as a side effect of STN DBS. We…Long term tremor benefit from cyst formation as a complication of DBS surgery in a patient with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To describe the unexpected, beneficial effects of cyst formation as a complication of sub-thalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in a patient…Twiddler Syndrome in Deep Brain Stimulation
Objective: Twiddler syndrome is one of the major complications in DBS treatment. Background: The patient intentionally and subconsciously spins internal pulse generator Spinning generally causes…Improvement of apraxia of eyelid opening in a patient with Parkinson’s disease following the change of the implantable pulse generator for subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation .
