Single centre experiences of directional leads in Parkinson patients
Objective: To evaluate the use of segmented lead technology in clinical routine in patients undergoing subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS). Background: Due to the…Comparison of low-frequency stimulation versus high-frequency stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus on cerebral hemodynamics in Parkinson’s disease: A transcranial Doppler Study
Objective: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most frequent progressive neuro-degenerative disease and the Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a useful surgical treatment to treat…Subthalamic neuromodulation restores motor learning in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The aims of the present study were to (i) investigate the effect of subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) on motor learning in Parkinson’s disease…Comparative results between preoperative acute levodopa challenge test and deep brain stimulation
Objective: Our aim is to compare motor clinical benefits after acute levodopa challenge test, with those obtained further with deep brain stimulation (DBS). Background: DBS…Directional DBS: A new algorithm to determine lead rotation
Objective: To establish a pipeline for reliable determination of lead rotation in directional DBS. Background: New directional leads with segmented electrodes are now widely used…Directional deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s disease guided by local field potentials
Objective: Implementation of directional stimulation of subthalamic nucleus with segmented leads guided by local field potential (LFP) recordings in order to personalize DBS parameters, optimize…A Patient-Centered Decision-Making Algorithm for Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To develop a computer application with responsive design to incorporate Parkinson’s Disease (PD) patients’ expectations for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery and present them…Efficacy and safety of combined unilateral subthalamic nucleus and contralateral globus pallidus deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of combined unilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) and contralateral globus pallidus internus (GPi) deep brain stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson’s…Hardware-related infections seen after implantable pulse generator replacement in Parkinson‘s patients who underwent Deep Brain Stimulation: A Single Center Experience
Objective: To investigate the hardware-related infection frequency associated with implantable pulse generator ( IPG ) replacement in Parkinson's patients who underwent Deep Brain Stimulation (…Swimming in PD patients with STN-DBS: A pilot exploratory study
Objective: Patients with PD frequently complain of losing abilitiy to swim. Our aim was to test the swimming abilities of our patients with bilateral STN-DBS…
