Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson Disease before L-dopa treatment: experience in three cases.
Objective: The goal of these case series is to investigate the possibility of deep brain stimulation (DBS) prior to L-dopa treatment in young Parkinsson…An Objective Tool to Guide Target Selection for DBS in PD (GPi vs STN)
Objective: To create a simple tool to aid in selection of the proper target for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Background: Two…Health related QoL as measured by the EQ-5D-5L in PD patients after DBS therapy: Preliminary results from the Product Surveillance Registry
Objective: Summarize change in QoL and health status by comparing scores from the EuroQuol-five domain questionnaire, five level response version (EQ-5D-5L) summary index and Visual Analog Scale (EQ-VAS) obtained at…Safe Functional MR Imaging in STN-DBS implanted Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Evaluation of clinically optimized settings in bilateral STN-DBS Parkinson’s disease, allows anatomical correlations with benefits and side effects. Background: MRI acquisition can cause permanent…Quantitative measures of brain MRI as a predictive factor of cognitive outcomes after Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To explore whether pre-surgical white matter lesion volume, measured quantitatively on brain MR images, is predictive of cognitive outcomes following subthalamic nucleus deep brain…Evaluating Use of the DBS Patient Programmer
Objective: To characterize use of the Medtronic® DBS patient programmer among patients with DBS for movement disorders. Background: Patients who undergo deep brain stimulation receive…Comparison of neuropathology in Parkinson’s disease subjects with and without deep brain stimulation
Objective: The aim of this postmortem study was to compare, in Parkinson's disease subjects with and without bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS), the…Comparison of pallidal and subthalamic deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s disease: therapeutic and adverse effects
Objective: To compare the therapeutic and adverse effects of the globus pallidus interna (GPi) and subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) for the treatment…Optimising STN-DBS frequency parameters for improvement of gait with dual tasking in PD patients
Objective: To evaluate effect of different frequency settings of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN DBS) on gait with and without dual tasking in PD patients. Background:…Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson’s disease: Short-term outcomes, referral patterns and health disparities.
Objective: To describe the practice patterns at University of Miami (UM), short term outcomes and health disparities among ethnic groups. Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS)…
