A prospective study of patients’ expectations in subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To prospectively assess the long-term outcome of subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) and the relationship with patients' expectations and satisfaction. Background: Subthalamic…Is the PPN a valuable target for deep brain stimulation in treatment of Parkinsonian disorders? Experience of a patient’s series
Objective: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) has been reported to improve motor symptoms in idiopathic (IPS) and in atypical Parkinsonian syndromes…In vivo validation of a new wireless portable stimulator for chronic deep brain stimulation in freely moving rats
Objective: To develop a new dedicated stimulator, adapted for chronic experiments on rodent models and that mimics the conditions of DBS human therapy: bilateral, current-controlled…Airway protective mechanisms and deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The goal of this study was to compare the effects of STN vs. GPi DBS on swallowing and cough outcomes in PD. Background: Deep…Improving parkinsonism in DBS poor-responders by surgical lead revision of subthalamic electrodes
Objective: If subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) results in poor symptom control or adverse side effects at low stimulation threshold surgical lead revision for optimal…Single versus multiple microelectrode recordings (MER) in STN-DBS-surgery for PD: A randomized double-blind controlled trial
Objective: To evaluate whether using multiple versus single MER-guidance peroperatively influence improvement of motor symptoms by STN-DBS in advanced PD. Background: It is well established…The effect of short pulse width neurostimulation in GPi-DBS
Objective: To evaluate (1) clinical usefulness and (2) adverse effects of thirty microseconds pulse width stimulation in deep brain stimulation of the globus pallidus internus…Accuracy of intraoperative CT during DBS procedures: Comparison with postoperative MRI
Objective: To determine the accuracy of intraoperative CT (iCT) in localizing deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes by comparing this modality with postoperative magnetic resonance imaging…Jaw opening dystonia and blepharospasm following bilateral VIM DBS for postural and action dystonic tremor
Objective: We report an elderly patient with jaw opening dystonia and blepharospasm post-bilateral thalamic DBS performed for atypical dystonic tremor. Background: Ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM)…Deep brain stimulation in early stage Parkinson’s disease: Is it disease modifying?
Objective: To examine patterns of motor symptom worsening in the 2 years following deep brain stimulation (DBS) in early stage Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Although…
