Clinical outcome of subthalamic deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s disease – The Helsinki experience
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and adverse effects of subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) and the possible correlation…How many and which kind of Parkinson’s disease patients need deep brain stimulation surgery? An evaluation based on clinical observation of patients with disease history of 15th year or more
Objective: To grasp real demand of deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery in a substantial Parkinson's disease (PD) population. Background: DBS surgery has become frequently performed…Is inter-limb coupling modified by subthalamic deep brain stimulation and dopaminergic medication in Parkinson’s disease?
Objective: We characterized different aspects of bimanual coordination in patients with PD, including inter-limb coupling, and then determined whether they were altered by therapeutic modulation…Tractography patterns of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation
Objective: To assess the connectivity patterns that characterize clinically beneficial electrodes in Parkinson's disease patients, after deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus. Background: Deep…Strengths and weaknesses of patient-reported outcomes following DBS surgery: Comparing clinician, patient, and caregiver assessments
Objective: Assess the degree of correlation between DBS outcome measures rated by patients, caregivers, and clinicians. Methods: The Clinician Global Impression (CGI) score and two…Efficiency of intraoperative microelectrode recording in patients with deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus. Three-year comparative research
Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of intraoperative microelectrode recording in patients with deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus…Clinical characteristics of Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor patients undergoing deep brain stimulation surgery: Five-year data from Columbia University Medical Center (2009 – 2014)
Objective: To compare the clinical characteristics of essential tremor (ET) and Parkinson's disease (PD) patients who underwent deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery to those of…Can stimulation of deep brain tissue improve the expression of the mouth in Parkinson’s disease patients?
Objective: To observe if stimulation of deep brain tissue can improve expression of the mouth in Parkinson's disease patients. Background: Masked facies or hypomimia is…Comparing the characteristics of patients with Parkinson’s disease speech with and without deep brain stimulation
Objective: To compare the speech Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with and without deep brain stimulation. Background: Among the many changes, the presence of dysarthria, characterized…Spinal cord stimulation improves freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease in chronic implanted stn-dbs patients: A case report
Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate further the potential role of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) as a treatment for gait disturbances and…
