The long-term follow-up of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation comparing medication alone in advanced Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: To investigate whether advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) patients receive subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) or medical treatment alone have different long-term outcome. Background:…A cognitive monitoring program for individuals with Parkinson’s disease submitted to deep brain stimulation
Objective: Evaluate the feasibility to serially assess cognitive performance with a new self-administered web-based test after DBS. Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has become the…Identification of unique metabolite signatures in post-mortem DBS human tissue using LC-HRMS
Objective: Metabolomics is applied to the study of metabolic as well as neurodegenerative diseases. We propose to utilize this technique to detect metabolic changes from…Electric stimulation of the nucleus subthalamicus is able to modulate prepulse inhibition. A pilot study in Parkinson´s disease
Objective: To evaluate if prepulse inhibition (PPI) is influenced by electrical stimulation in the Nucleus subthalamicus (STN) of patients with Parkinson´s disease (PD). Background: PPI…Measurement of effect of variable deep brain stimulation (DBS) frequencies on static postural control in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients with bilateral STN or GPi stimulators by employing force plate
Objective: To quantitatively evaluate the effect of variable DBS frequencies on static postural control in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with Bilateral STN or GPi stimulators…Can a leopard changes its spots? How impulse control disorder affects subthalamic stimulation paradigm
Objective: To study the effect of previous impulse control disorders (ICD) on subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) programming in subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD).…Morbidity and comorbidity of deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease – A thirteen-years retrospective cohort study
Objective: To assess the surgical morbidity and comorbidity in 140 consecutive patients with various disease entities of movement disorders, epilepsy and obsessive-compulsive disorders that underwent…Quantification of tremor and rigidity during deep brain stimulation surgery for Parkison’s disease
Objective: The aim of this study is to validate practical and objective measures to assess changes in rigidity and tremor due to micro-lesion effects and…Comparison of four DBS lead designs under voltage and current operating modes based on patient specific simulations
Objective: To quantitatively compare the spatial extension of the electric field generated by four different lead designs operated under voltage and current modes. Background: Conventional…Electrophysiological activity of anatomically identified STN subterritories in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To characterize the electrophysiological activity of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) functional subterritories, as anatomically defined on fused CT/MRI images or by the recording tract…
