Employing intraoperative microelectrode recordings during "asleep" deep brain stimulation surgery of the globus pallidus internus in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To employ a means of implanting DBS leads to the GPi in individuals with Parkinson's disease who are undergoing the surgery under general anesthesia…Suggested protocol for electroconvulsive therapy for depression in a Parkinson’s disease patient with a deep brain stimulator: A case report
Objective: To report an evidence for safety of ECT in patients with DBS in place. Background: We report a case of bilateral electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)…Clinical outcome of constant current deep brain stimulation in patients with medication-refractory essential tremor
Objective: To evaluate, for the first time, the safety and efficacy of long-term ventralis intermedius (Vim) constant current deep brain stimulation (DBS) in essential tremor…Unilateral dual lead thalamic deep brain stimulation improves refractory essential tremor
Objective: To report on the results of utilization of multiple ipsilateral leads for DBS treatment of essential tremor. Background: Thalamic VIM DBS (deep brain stimulation)…Tourette syndrome treated by continuous electrical neuromodulation (DBS): Targeting the comorbidities?
Objective: To assess the response to deep brain stimulation (DBS) in refractory Tourette syndrome (rTS) of both tics and behavioural comorbidities. Background: Gilles de la…Magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging for the pedunculopontine nucleus: Correlation between neuroimaging and cytoarchitectonic features
Objective: We investigate DTI and Fractional Anisotropy maps both in vivo and in post-mortem MR studies. In situ imaging findings were correlated with those obtained…Thalamic deep brain stimulation for cerebellar outflow tremor and midbrain tremor: a case series
Objective: To review outcomes of the thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients with cerebellar outflow and midbrain tremor. Background: DBS of the ventral intermediate…Deep brain stimulation in the treatment of cerebellar tremor in young patients
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of DBS on drug-resistant tremor secondary to alterations of the cerebellum or the dentato-rubro-thalamic pathways. Background: Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)…Prospective evaluation of pallidal deep brain stimulation in Huntington’s disease
Objective: To prospectively evaluate the effect of bilateral pallidal deep brain stimulation (DBS) on motor symptoms, activities of daily living and quality of life in…Finger tapping distance in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus changes in parallel with frontal lobe function
Objective: We assessed upper extremity function of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) patients by quantitative finger tapping test and checked the correlation with other clinical…
