Does body mass index influence outcome of deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s patients?
Objective: To investigate if preoperative body mass index (BMI) can predict functional and quality of life (QOL) outcomes following deep brain stimulation surgery (DBS) in…Longitudinal changes of speech and voice disorders following subthalamic stimulation in Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: To elucidate longitudinal changes of speech and voice disorders in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients treated with subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS). Background: Previously,…Successful DBS: Doctors happy, patients not – Why?
Objective: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson's disease (PD) has been proven successful; however, not in all. Background: We report on 5 PD patients who…Mortality after deep brain stimulation surgery for patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We aimed to analyze the mortality of advanced PD patients who received DBS surgery. Background: Survival of PD patients has been investigated. Many researchers…Role of contact polarity on therapeutic impedances at two deep brain stimulation (DBS) targets
Objective: To demonstrate the role of contact polarity on therapeutic impedances at two DBS targets. Background: Neuromodulation with DBS is an established therapy for medically…Efficacy of the bilateral subthalamic stimulation in Parkinson’s disease, results from the Neuromodulation Centre in Budapest
Objective: Our aim was to assess the changes in quality of life after bilateral subthalamic stimulation in our patients with Parkinson's disease and to analyze…A new tool to measure the impact of deep brain stimulation on Parkinson’s disease patients: Development and validation of the deep brain stimulation impairment scale (DBS-IS)
Objective: To develop a questionnaire that measures impairments related to deep brain stimulation (DBS). Background: DBS has considerable influence on motor and non-motor symptoms in…Minimal impact of “interleaving” on neuromodulation device battery drain when interleave frequency is halved
Objective: To contrast neurostimulator battery decay subsequent to the implementation of interleaving with that prior to interleaving. Background: Neurostimulators permit “interleaving”, which allows different same-lead…Stimulation of the globus pallidus internus in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease: Long-term results of a monocentric follow-up
Objective: To investigate the long-term outcome of pallidal deep brain stimulation (GPi-DBS) in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: GPi-DBS is beneficial in patients with advanced levodopa-responsive…Improvement of impulse control disorder in Parkinson’s disease patients treated with subthalamic nucleus stimulation
Objective: To find effects of subthalamic deep brain stimulation on impulse control disorder in patients with Parkinson's disease. Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common…
