Surgery‐related 30-day morbidity of deep brain stimulation in a large cohort of 600 patients
Objective: In this retrospective study we analyzed the surgery‐ and hardware‐related morbidity of deep brain stimulation within 30 days after surgery. Background: 600 functional stereotactic…Unclear Pronunciation of Stop Consonant Sounds in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease Following Deep Brain Stimulation
Objective: To clarify the characteristics of changes in stop consonant articulation in PD subjects before and after DBS and compared with control group by using…Bilateral Globus pallidus internus deep brain stimulation as rescue therapy for ineffective subthalamic stimulation
Objective: The subthalamic nucleus (STN) and the globus pallidus internus (GPi) are the main targets of deep brain stimulation surgery (DBS) for patients with advanced…Online determination of the STN “sweet spot” based on beta-power measured with directional macro-contacts of the final DBS lead
Objective: Microelectrode recordings are the standard procedure for intraoperative, electrophysiological mapping of the STN[1]. We investigated a novel methodology to detect the STN sweet spot…Three-dimensional gait analysis of the effect of directional steering in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of directional steering on the gait performance in Parkinson’s disease (PD), utilizing a three-dimensional…Apraxia of Eye Lid Opening in patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease undergoing subthalamic stimulation – a single-centre experience.
Objective: We aimed to assess the cumulative incidence of apraxia of eye lid opening (AOELO) in patients who have undergone bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain…Preoperative Smoking History Increases Risk of Infection in Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery
Objective: Although general risk of deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy has been previously described, application of risk prediction at the individual patient level is still…Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson’s disease: the Paradox of More Technological Approaches
Objective: To assess the subjective experience/expectations of Parkinson’s disease(PD) patients who have undergone deep brain stimulation(DBS) using either an established(Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) or newer…Use of directional stimulation to localize and troubleshoot STN-related contralateral gaze deviation: a case report
Objective: To report a case in which STN stimulation-induced gaze deviation was mapped and managed using directional lead programming. Background: Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of…Effect of global cognitive score on motor and quality of life outcomes after deep brain stimulation in patients with Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor
Objective: To determine if preoperative global cognitive score, Mattis Dementia Rating Scale 2nd Edition (DRS-2), predicts motor and quality of life (QoL) outcomes in patients…
