Chronic directional subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s disease – A pilot study
Objective: This pilot study aimed to assess the therapeutic potential of chronically implanted directional DBS leads in patients with Parkinson's disease. Background: The therapeutic effect…DBS related on-state freezing of gait – A case series
Objective: To present the first ever case series of on-state freezing of gait (FOG) after DBS surgery using dose-cycle gait evaluation. Background: FOG is categorized…A multi-site survey of Parkinson’s disease deep brain stimulation center best practice: moving toward a standard of care for DBS
Objective: To survey how Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Centers handle referrals and peri-operative (surgical and non-surgical) treatment of persons with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Currently…Effect of frequency modulation on freezing of gait in PD patients after bilateral STN DBS
Objective: To study various frequency settings and to identify the optimal frequency of bilateral subthalamic nuclei deep brain stimulation (DBS) for improvement in gait in…Toward clinical use of electrode localizations in deep brain stimulation therapy
Objective: To develop an open source software capable of performing electrode localizations certified for clinical use in deep brain stimulation therapy. Background: Deep brain stimulation…Objectivisation of postural disorders in patients with Parkinson’s disease during the screening stage for DBS
Objective: Objectivisation of degree of postural disorders in PD patients during the screening stage for DBS. Background: The neurosurgical treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) using…Difference between physiologically defined subthalamic nucleus target and final lead placement: Influence in clinical outcome
Objective: To evaluate distance between the physiologically defined subthalamic nucleus (STN) target and final lead placement, and its influence on the clinical outcome at 6…Rechargeable pacemaker technology in deep brain stimulation: A step forward, but nor for everyone
Objective: Since a few years rechargeable pacemaker technology is available in deep brain stimulation. This technical innovation becomes more and more important in clinical practice,…Two years after unilateral Forel’s H campotomy for Parkinson’s disease: Quality of life, motor and cognitive outcomes of eleven patients
Objective: To provide a thorough assessment of the effects of unilateral Forel's H campotomy on Parkinson's disease patients. Background: Since its proposal in 1963, Forel's…Face and color recognition after subthalamic nucleus stimulation in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We hypothesized that face recognition and color perception may also be impaired after STN DBS and we tested our hypothesis in a group of…
