Variability in the ideal target of GPi DBS for Parkinson’s disease requires advanced direct targeting for optimal results
Objective: Our findings have the potential to transform the clinical practice of surgeons who rely solely on indirect targeting, by raising awareness of the anatomic…DBS of the STN in 44 patients with Parkinson’s disease – Radiological and clinical outcome
Objective: Precision in implantation of deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes relies on systematic interdisciplinary planning and intra-operative testing and needs to be discussed along with…Reduction in battery longevity for each subsequent implantable pulse generator (IPG) in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) treated with bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) may be due to both programming changes and IPG model – a case series
Objective: To determine whether the decrease in longevity following IPG replacement is due to programming changes and whether there is an effect of IPG model.…Unilateral microelectrode mapping to guide bilateral deep brain stimulation electrode implantation: A retrospective study of anatomical lead placement and DBS programming outcomes
Objective: To assess deep brain stimulation (DBS) programming outcomes and lead placement after bilateral electrode implantation with unilateral microelectrode mapping. Background: There is considerable variability…Employing intraoperative microelectrode recordings during "asleep" deep brain stimulation surgery of the globus pallidus internus in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To employ a means of implanting DBS leads to the GPi in individuals with Parkinson's disease who are undergoing the surgery under general anesthesia…Suggested protocol for electroconvulsive therapy for depression in a Parkinson’s disease patient with a deep brain stimulator: A case report
Objective: To report an evidence for safety of ECT in patients with DBS in place. Background: We report a case of bilateral electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)…Clinical outcome of constant current deep brain stimulation in patients with medication-refractory essential tremor
Objective: To evaluate, for the first time, the safety and efficacy of long-term ventralis intermedius (Vim) constant current deep brain stimulation (DBS) in essential tremor…Unilateral dual lead thalamic deep brain stimulation improves refractory essential tremor
Objective: To report on the results of utilization of multiple ipsilateral leads for DBS treatment of essential tremor. Background: Thalamic VIM DBS (deep brain stimulation)…Tourette syndrome treated by continuous electrical neuromodulation (DBS): Targeting the comorbidities?
Objective: To assess the response to deep brain stimulation (DBS) in refractory Tourette syndrome (rTS) of both tics and behavioural comorbidities. Background: Gilles de la…Magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging for the pedunculopontine nucleus: Correlation between neuroimaging and cytoarchitectonic features
Objective: We investigate DTI and Fractional Anisotropy maps both in vivo and in post-mortem MR studies. In situ imaging findings were correlated with those obtained…
