Comparing the characteristics of patients with Parkinson’s disease speech with and without deep brain stimulation
Objective: To compare the speech Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with and without deep brain stimulation. Background: Among the many changes, the presence of dysarthria, characterized…Spinal cord stimulation improves freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease in chronic implanted stn-dbs patients: A case report
Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate further the potential role of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) as a treatment for gait disturbances and…Does body mass index influence outcome of deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s patients?
Objective: To investigate if preoperative body mass index (BMI) can predict functional and quality of life (QOL) outcomes following deep brain stimulation surgery (DBS) in…Longitudinal changes of speech and voice disorders following subthalamic stimulation in Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: To elucidate longitudinal changes of speech and voice disorders in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients treated with subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS). Background: Previously,…Successful DBS: Doctors happy, patients not – Why?
Objective: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson's disease (PD) has been proven successful; however, not in all. Background: We report on 5 PD patients who…Mortality after deep brain stimulation surgery for patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We aimed to analyze the mortality of advanced PD patients who received DBS surgery. Background: Survival of PD patients has been investigated. Many researchers…Role of contact polarity on therapeutic impedances at two deep brain stimulation (DBS) targets
Objective: To demonstrate the role of contact polarity on therapeutic impedances at two DBS targets. Background: Neuromodulation with DBS is an established therapy for medically…Efficacy of the bilateral subthalamic stimulation in Parkinson’s disease, results from the Neuromodulation Centre in Budapest
Objective: Our aim was to assess the changes in quality of life after bilateral subthalamic stimulation in our patients with Parkinson's disease and to analyze…A new tool to measure the impact of deep brain stimulation on Parkinson’s disease patients: Development and validation of the deep brain stimulation impairment scale (DBS-IS)
Objective: To develop a questionnaire that measures impairments related to deep brain stimulation (DBS). Background: DBS has considerable influence on motor and non-motor symptoms in…Minimal impact of “interleaving” on neuromodulation device battery drain when interleave frequency is halved
Objective: To contrast neurostimulator battery decay subsequent to the implementation of interleaving with that prior to interleaving. Background: Neurostimulators permit “interleaving”, which allows different same-lead…
