Cognitive outcome in the patients with Parkinson’s disease one year after subthalamic implants in Taiwan
Objective: To demonstrate cognitive outcome after subthalamic deep brain stimulation(DBS) in the patients with Parkinson's disease(PD) in Taiwan. Background: Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic…Comparison of clinically derived and model based programming parameters of subthalamic nucleus stimulation in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To test whether DBS parameters in chronically stimulated Parkinson´s disease (PD) patients chosen by clinical criteria are congruent with DBS parameters as derived from…Effectiveness and micro-electrodes findings of deep brain stimulation of the STN via a parietal approach in post-infectious previously implanted Parkinson´s patients
Objective: To report our experience with an alternative entry point to access STN in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) and its micro-electrodes findings. Background:…How do patients experience deep brain stimulation surgery: A prospective patient satisfaction survey
Objective: To evaluate experience of patients who undergo Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery for treatment of different movement disorders, using patient survey questionnaires. Background: DBS…DBS programming requirements and longevity
Objective: Determine need for programming for contemporary DBS systems, and the rate of explant, revision, or replacement. Background: DBS provides relief for motor symptoms of…A pilot study of horizontal current steering with chronically implanted segmented electrodes for STN-DBS in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the effect of horizontal current steering using a chronically implanted segmented lead and multiple independent current source technology on clinical effect and…Incidence and characteristics of gait dysfunction after subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation
Objective: To identify the effects of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation on gait kinematics in patients with PD and describe the incidence of gait dysfunction…Transient, symptomatic, non-infectious hypodensity around deep brain stimulation electrode
Objective: To report a post-operative, transient non-infectious, but symptomatic, brain edema surrounding the deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrode that resolved without intervention. Background: Potential hardware…Constant-current stimulation in Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: To evaluate the clinical effect (motor, non-motor and cognitive) of a three-month switch from constant-voltage (CV) to constant-current (CC) stimulation in Parkinson's disease (PD)…Weight changes in PD patients post-DBS: A look at the factors involved
Objective: To evaluate the factors associated with weight changes in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients after deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. Background: DBS is a well-established…
