Comparison of lead localization in postoperative CT versus MRI
Objective: Evaluation of lead position accuracy may be accomplished by postoperative CT or MRI. Image distortion induced by the lead contacts in MRI question the…First experience with 59 directional leads in deep brain stimulation
Objective: The feasibility of applying new directional leads (D-leads) in standard DBS procedures, possible difficulties or complications were the focus of this study. Background: DBS is…Postoperative delirium after deep brain stimulation surgery for Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the potential predictive factors of postoperative delirium after deep brain stimulation surgery for Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation…Factors determining the motor outcome of STN DBS in PD patients: Evidence for Dual Actions
Objective: We investigated factors determining the motor outcome of STN DBS in patients with Parkinson disease (PD). Background: The STN DBS has revolutionized the management…Effects of subthalamic and nigral stimulation on gait kinematics in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: In this work, we aimed to characterize the differential effect of subthalamic nucleus (STN) or substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr) stimulation on kinematic gait…Electrode Impedance as a marker for “on” and “off” states in a Deep Brain Stimulation cohort: A pilot study
Objective: To determine the possible use of electrical impedance as an easily measured surrogate measure for clinical changes in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) with…Meta-analysis of mortality following Subthalamic and Pallidal deep brain stimulation for patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The aim of this meta-analysis is to compare mortality after subthalamic (STN) and pallidal (GPi) deep brain stimulation (DBS) for patients with Parkinson's disease…Battery consumption and need for replacement in patients with Parkinson disease treated with interleaved deep brain stimulation
Objective: To evaluate battery life in patients managed with unilateral or bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) interleaved deep brain stimulation (DBS) Background: DBS is a common…Clinical utility of chronic directional subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulatoin in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: Here, we present our 3-month clinical experience with subthalamic directional DBS in treating Parkinson’s disease (PD) symptoms. Background: Directional Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is…GammaKnife subthalamotomy for Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To assess the feasibility of GammaKnife subthalamotomy in Parkinson's disease Background: Chronic STN stimulation is an established treatment for complicated PD. Bilateral subthalamotomy may…
