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…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…
