Spontaneous peri-electrode edema, 7 years after subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) in a patient with Parkinson´s disease (PD): A case report
Objective: To describe an infrequent and late complication of STN-DBS in a patient with PD. Background: DBS is a safe procedure for patients with PD.…Teed and primary cell longevity: Results from product surveillance registry
Objective: To evaluate the influence of electrical stimulation settings and impedance on primary cell IPG longevity in a global registry. Background: Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)…Nigral stimulation for the treatment of refractory gait disturbances in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Evaluate the effect of SNr stimulation on freezing of gait and analyse changes in local field potentials. We describe an early-onset Parkinson´s disease patient…Propionibacterium acnes Infection with Intracerebral Abscess in Deep Brain Stimulation
Objective: Propionibacterium acnes infection in DBS patients has distinct characteristics that distinguish it from the most commonly associated bacteria in postoperative wound infections, Staphylococcus aureus.…Simple Programming Method in STN-DBS using directional lead
Objective: Consider a stimulation programming method that can be performed easily and in a short time. Background: Background: Since the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a…Impact of changes in resistance on current delivered in constant voltage DBS stimulator in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To assess change in resistance and current with voltage and rate changes in Parkinson’s Disease (PD) patients on DBS therapy. Background: Currently we use…Could the rate of dopaminergic medications reduction affect outcome after STN-DBS?
Objective: A retrospective analysis of the rate of dopaminergic drugs reduction following subthalamic nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation (STN-DBS) in a group of Parkinson’s disease patients…Can brittle dyskinesia be one of the causes of Twiddler syndrome in Deep Brain Stimulation?
Objective: To discuss whether brittle dyskinesia can be a cause of Twiddler syndrome. Background: Many studies have reported that the cause of Twiddler syndrome (…Intraoperative Electromyography can optimize pallidotomy for Parkinson’s disease and dystonias
Objective: The aim of this study is show our experience in use intraoperative electromyography during stereotactic pallidotomy for Parkinson’s disease and dystonia, to help care…Predicting patient risk and discharge disposition subsequent to deep brain stimulation surgery
Objective: Increasing worldwide utilization of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for movement disorders and other diseases has increased demand for this therapy from a larger population…
