The study of clinical outcome of deep brain stimulation for the idiopathic Parkinson’s disease at 6 months follow-up
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the motor and psychiatric outcomes at 6 months after subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) in…Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation modulate catecholamine levels with significant relations to clinical outcome after surgery in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Because subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation is effective in L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine responsive patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), the preoperative catecholamine levels may affect the effect…Bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep-brain stimulation (STN-DBS) in the management of idiopathic Parkinson’s disease: Results of our first 20 cases
Objective: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is widely accepted as a treatment for advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). However, published studies were…Effect of unilateral subthalamic deep brain stimulation in highly asymmetric Parkinson’s disease: 7- year follow-up
Objective: To evaluate the long-term outcome of unilateral STN DBS in highly asymmetric patients with PD. Background: Unilateral STN DBS is suggested to be a…Real-world safety of deep brain stimulation in patients with ≤7.5 years between disease onset and device implant
Objective: The intent of this analysis was to characterize real-world safety of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients with ≤7.5 years between Parkinson's disease (PD)…DBS targeting: Validation of 3T MR image guided targeting using post-mortem 17T MR microscopy
Objective: This work helps validate the utility of direct targeting using 3T T1 inverted sequences with atlas application during planning for DBS electrode placement. We…Lead angle matters: Side effects of deep brain stimulation improved with adjustment of lead angle
Objective: A variety of technical considerations influence the outcome of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). We highlight a case where revising the angle of approach significantly…Stereotactic pallidotomy for Parkinson’s disease in El Salvador: One year follow up
Objective: Characterize patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease undergoing posteroventral pallidotomy. Assess improvement in motor symptoms after pallidotomy. Background: Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease with…Distribution of oscillatory activities in MRI confirmed subthalamic nucleus subregions
Objective: To explore the differences and similarities of oscillatory activity between subregions of the subthalamic nucleus (STN). Background: In Parkinson's disease (PD), treatment driven changes…Can intraoperative clinical testing really predict the effects of deep brain stimulation in the subthalamic nucleus?
Objective: To evaluate whether stimulation-induced therapeutic and side effects of the permanent electrode are predictable by intraoperative test stimulation with clinical examination. Background: Intraoperative test…
