Programming deep brain stimulation in the globus pallidus internus for treatment of idiopathic Parkinson’s disease: experience at the University of Kentucky
Objective: To report deep brain stimulation (DBS) programming parameters and experiences in patients with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD) implanted with globus pallidus internus (GPi) leads.…STN DBS can temporarily improve balance disorders in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of STN DBS on balance disorders in PD patients. Background: Subthalamic nucleus deep brain…A Novel Deep Brain Stimulation Programming Paradigm for Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To report the outcome of a novel interleaving stimulation (ILS) DBS programming paradigm (PP). Background: DBS of the STN using conventional high frequency (130-185Hz)…The battery longevity of implantable pulse generators (IPG) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is affected by IPG model, number of previous IPG replacements and stimulation energy delivered.
Objective: To determine the effects of stimulation parameters, IPG model and the number of previous IPG replacements on IPG battery longevity. Background: For some patients rechargeable…Expectations and Perceived Outcomes Following DBS for PD: A Case Series
Objective: To examine effect of preoperative expectations on postoperative satisfaction in individuals with PD treated with DBS Background: While clinical trials of DBS in PD…Postoperative Cognitive Impairment Following Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery
Objective: To evaluate what intraoperative factors contribute to impairment after deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in patients with essential tremor (ET) and Parkinson’s disease (PD).…Action tremor control with deep brain stimulation in patients with Parkinson’s disease: Specific target associations
Objective: To determine the effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) on action tremor in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and to identify if there are specific target…Baseline characteristics associated with greatest improvement in HRQL after DBS surgery
Objective: To determine the characteristics of DBS candidates associated with the greatest improvement in HRQL outcomes after surgery. Background: Site reviews of expert DBS centers…Interleaved Stimulation for Freezing of Gait in Advanced Parkinson’s Disease: A Pilot Study
Objective: To assess the effect of Interleaved Stimulation (ILS) in patients receiving subthalamic nucleus-Deep Brain Stimulation (STN-DBS), with Freezing of gait (FOG) unresponsive to medication and conventional…Combined Surgical Therapies for Optimal Management of Advanced Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: We report a case of a patient with advanced PD who began LCIG for refractory motor fluctuations while continuing longstanding STN-DBS. Background: LCIG and…
