Role of contact polarity on therapeutic impedances at two deep brain stimulation (DBS) targets
Objective: To demonstrate the role of contact polarity on therapeutic impedances at two DBS targets. Background: Neuromodulation with DBS is an established therapy for medically…Efficacy of the bilateral subthalamic stimulation in Parkinson’s disease, results from the Neuromodulation Centre in Budapest
Objective: Our aim was to assess the changes in quality of life after bilateral subthalamic stimulation in our patients with Parkinson's disease and to analyze…A new tool to measure the impact of deep brain stimulation on Parkinson’s disease patients: Development and validation of the deep brain stimulation impairment scale (DBS-IS)
Objective: To develop a questionnaire that measures impairments related to deep brain stimulation (DBS). Background: DBS has considerable influence on motor and non-motor symptoms in…Minimal impact of “interleaving” on neuromodulation device battery drain when interleave frequency is halved
Objective: To contrast neurostimulator battery decay subsequent to the implementation of interleaving with that prior to interleaving. Background: Neurostimulators permit “interleaving”, which allows different same-lead…Stimulation of the globus pallidus internus in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease: Long-term results of a monocentric follow-up
Objective: To investigate the long-term outcome of pallidal deep brain stimulation (GPi-DBS) in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: GPi-DBS is beneficial in patients with advanced levodopa-responsive…Improvement of impulse control disorder in Parkinson’s disease patients treated with subthalamic nucleus stimulation
Objective: To find effects of subthalamic deep brain stimulation on impulse control disorder in patients with Parkinson's disease. Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common…The long-term follow-up of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation comparing medication alone in advanced Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: To investigate whether advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) patients receive subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) or medical treatment alone have different long-term outcome. Background:…A cognitive monitoring program for individuals with Parkinson’s disease submitted to deep brain stimulation
Objective: Evaluate the feasibility to serially assess cognitive performance with a new self-administered web-based test after DBS. Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has become the…Identification of unique metabolite signatures in post-mortem DBS human tissue using LC-HRMS
Objective: Metabolomics is applied to the study of metabolic as well as neurodegenerative diseases. We propose to utilize this technique to detect metabolic changes from…Electric stimulation of the nucleus subthalamicus is able to modulate prepulse inhibition. A pilot study in Parkinson´s disease
Objective: To evaluate if prepulse inhibition (PPI) is influenced by electrical stimulation in the Nucleus subthalamicus (STN) of patients with Parkinson´s disease (PD). Background: PPI…
