Automated DBS Contact Selection using Coherence in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To investigate whether subthalamic nucleus (STN)-EMG coherence can be used to predict the most effective deep brain stimulation (DBS) contact. Background: Although DBS is…Effect of bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation on quality of life in advanced Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: To evaluate the effect of bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation( STN DBS) on motor control, quality of life (QOL) and cognition in a cohort of…Degree, onset and longevity of benefit achieved with Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) as assessed by the UPDRS.
Objective: To show the degree, onset and longevity of benefit achieved with STN DBS at our center. Background: At our center, we administer the UPDRS-III…Spinal cord stimulation reduces freezing of gait and improves gait in advanced Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The primary objective was to investigate the therapeutic effect of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) on gait dysfunction including freezing of gait (FOG) in advanced…Contact location and non-motor outcomes in subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine whether the precise location of stimulation affects cognitive performance and mood. Background: Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus effectively treats the…Patient characteristics vary by DBS indication in Parkinson disease patients
Objective: To determine whether there are clinical differences in Parkinson disease (PD) patients based on their indication for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. Background: Deep…Weight Changes in STN and GPi Deep Brain Stimulation: Long Term Follow up
Objective: To determine the impact of deep brain stimulation (DBS) during long term follow-up of post-operative weight changes in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: PD patients…UPDRS benefit from dual frequency DBS fields sculpted by intentionally overlapped interleaving
Objective: We show that UPDRS-III scores after interleaving compared to those prior to interleaving reflect a gain in benefit by lowered scores. Background: Previously, we…Efficacy and tolerability of low-frequency deep brain stimulation during daytime only in Parkinson’s disease: a pilot study
Objective: To compare the efficacy and tolerability of low-frequency stimulation (LFS) during daytime only to LFS applied 24 hours a day, in PD patients bilaterally…Cognitive effects of GPi versus STN deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s Disease: experience with patients with moderate cognitive impairment
Objective: To compare the cognitive effects of GPi versus STN deep brain stimulation for PD in patients with moderate cognitive impairment. Background: Patients with moderate…
