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…Effect of STN-DBS on impulse control disorder and affective behavioral complications of Parkinson’s disease: A 1-year longitudinal study
Objective: In this 1-year prospective study, we evaluated the effect of bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) on neuropsychiatric complications of…The core assessment program for surgical interventional therapies in Parkinson’s disease (CAPSIT-PD): Tolerability of preoperative neuropsychological testing for deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We examined tolerability of preoperative neuropsychological testing (the Core Assessment Program for Surgical Interventional Therapies in Parkinson's disease [CAPSIT-PD] protocol) for DBS. Background: CAPSIT-PD…Non-motor outcomes of subthalamic stimulation in Parkinson’s disease depend on the location of active contacts
Objective: To investigate the impact of active electrode contact location on non-motor outcomes in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain…“Two odd targets” strategy in deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease with unilateral dystonia
Objective: To describe a patient underwent deep brain stimulation (DBS) with different target in left and right. Background: DBS is a therapeutic option for movement…Upregulated vascular endothelial nitric oxide synthase in Parkinson’s disease cases that have received subthalamic stimulation: A post-mortem evaluation
Objective: Here we measured levels of vascular endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression as a result of high frequency (HF) Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of…Multiple-source current steering in bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease: Our experience
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and side effects of a multiple-source, constant-current device in a Latin-American population of patients with PD. Background: Timmermann et al.…
