Improving parkinsonism in DBS poor-responders by surgical lead revision of subthalamic electrodes
Objective: If subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) results in poor symptom control or adverse side effects at low stimulation threshold surgical lead revision for optimal…Single versus multiple microelectrode recordings (MER) in STN-DBS-surgery for PD: A randomized double-blind controlled trial
Objective: To evaluate whether using multiple versus single MER-guidance peroperatively influence improvement of motor symptoms by STN-DBS in advanced PD. Background: It is well established…The effect of short pulse width neurostimulation in GPi-DBS
Objective: To evaluate (1) clinical usefulness and (2) adverse effects of thirty microseconds pulse width stimulation in deep brain stimulation of the globus pallidus internus…Accuracy of intraoperative CT during DBS procedures: Comparison with postoperative MRI
Objective: To determine the accuracy of intraoperative CT (iCT) in localizing deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes by comparing this modality with postoperative magnetic resonance imaging…Jaw opening dystonia and blepharospasm following bilateral VIM DBS for postural and action dystonic tremor
Objective: We report an elderly patient with jaw opening dystonia and blepharospasm post-bilateral thalamic DBS performed for atypical dystonic tremor. Background: Ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM)…Deep brain stimulation in early stage Parkinson’s disease: Is it disease modifying?
Objective: To examine patterns of motor symptom worsening in the 2 years following deep brain stimulation (DBS) in early stage Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Although…Speech 10 years post bilateral STN-DBS for Parkinson’s disease
Objective: This study reports on the type and severity of speech problems up to 10 years after bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic…Traditional trial-and-error versus neuroanatomical-3D-image software-assisted deep brain stimulation programming in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To compare traditional trial-and-error with neuroanatomical-3D-image software-assisted deep brain stimulation (DBS) programming in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) treated with subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS.…Wearable sensors and decision algorithms for advanced therapy referral in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Pilot study to determine the impact of remote monitoring using objective, wearable sensors on the advanced therapy referral rate in patients with advanced Parkinson's…Patient-centered outcomes of DBS in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine long-term patient-centered outcomes after bilateral STN DBS in PD. Background: STN DBS is effective for motor symptoms of PD but long-term patient-centered…
