Hemidystonia due to midbrain hemorrhage: An unusal complication of Deep Brain Stimulation
Objective: In this case report, we describe the development of hemidystonia due to hemorrhagic complication after subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) in a patient with…Evaluation of apathy before and after subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation therapy in advanced Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been approved to relieve the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients when the optimal pharmachologic treatment is unsatisfactory.…Spontaneous peri-electrode edema, 7 years after subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) in a patient with Parkinson´s disease (PD): A case report
Objective: To describe an infrequent and late complication of STN-DBS in a patient with PD. Background: DBS is a safe procedure for patients with PD.…Teed and primary cell longevity: Results from product surveillance registry
Objective: To evaluate the influence of electrical stimulation settings and impedance on primary cell IPG longevity in a global registry. Background: Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)…Nigral stimulation for the treatment of refractory gait disturbances in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Evaluate the effect of SNr stimulation on freezing of gait and analyse changes in local field potentials. We describe an early-onset Parkinson´s disease patient…Propionibacterium acnes Infection with Intracerebral Abscess in Deep Brain Stimulation
Objective: Propionibacterium acnes infection in DBS patients has distinct characteristics that distinguish it from the most commonly associated bacteria in postoperative wound infections, Staphylococcus aureus.…Simple Programming Method in STN-DBS using directional lead
Objective: Consider a stimulation programming method that can be performed easily and in a short time. Background: Background: Since the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a…Impact of changes in resistance on current delivered in constant voltage DBS stimulator in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To assess change in resistance and current with voltage and rate changes in Parkinson’s Disease (PD) patients on DBS therapy. Background: Currently we use…Could the rate of dopaminergic medications reduction affect outcome after STN-DBS?
Objective: A retrospective analysis of the rate of dopaminergic drugs reduction following subthalamic nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation (STN-DBS) in a group of Parkinson’s disease patients…Can brittle dyskinesia be one of the causes of Twiddler syndrome in Deep Brain Stimulation?
Objective: To discuss whether brittle dyskinesia can be a cause of Twiddler syndrome. Background: Many studies have reported that the cause of Twiddler syndrome (…
