AntiParkinsonian medication adjustments following deep brain stimulation of subthalamic nucleus in patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the long-term changes in medication of patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) following STN-DBS in our center. Background: Usually antiParkinsonian…Cognitive change following deep brain stimulation in patients with movement disorders
Objective: To assess the degree and pattern of cognitive changes following Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), Dystonia and Essential Tremor…DTI tractographic correlates of weight gain in Parkinson’s disease patients after STN DBS
Objective: To assess DTI connectivity patterns and correlations with weight gain in Parkinson's disease patients after STN DBS. Background: Weight gain is a well-known adverse…Unilateral focused ultrasound thalamotomy in tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the safety, feasibility, and durability of focused ultrasound thalamotomy on tremor in PD. Background: Surgical treatment of PD currently involves deep brain…The subthalamic nucleus activity during gait in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the activity of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) during gait in subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Gait disturbance is a key component…A case of thalamic malignant glioma formation in a patient with STN-DBS for Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We present a case of development of malignant glioma (glioblastoma multiforme) in the area adjacent to electrostimulation zone in a patient with chronic STN-DBS,…Variability in the ideal target of GPi DBS for Parkinson’s disease requires advanced direct targeting for optimal results
Objective: Our findings have the potential to transform the clinical practice of surgeons who rely solely on indirect targeting, by raising awareness of the anatomic…DBS of the STN in 44 patients with Parkinson’s disease – Radiological and clinical outcome
Objective: Precision in implantation of deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes relies on systematic interdisciplinary planning and intra-operative testing and needs to be discussed along with…Reduction in battery longevity for each subsequent implantable pulse generator (IPG) in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) treated with bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) may be due to both programming changes and IPG model – a case series
Objective: To determine whether the decrease in longevity following IPG replacement is due to programming changes and whether there is an effect of IPG model.…Unilateral microelectrode mapping to guide bilateral deep brain stimulation electrode implantation: A retrospective study of anatomical lead placement and DBS programming outcomes
Objective: To assess deep brain stimulation (DBS) programming outcomes and lead placement after bilateral electrode implantation with unilateral microelectrode mapping. Background: There is considerable variability…
