Implantable pulse generator (IPG) longevity decreases following each replacement surgery in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients treated with bilateral sub-thalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS)
Objective: To investigate the influence of the number of implantable pulse generator (IPG) replacement surgeries and the IPG model on battery life in bilateral STN…Is awake intraoperative mapping still necessary for bilateral subthalamic stimulation for Parkinson’s disease in a modern surgical environment?
Objective: To study the impact of the absence of awake clinical evaluation during subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) on parameters of stimulation and…Cognitive outcome in the patients with Parkinson’s disease one year after subthalamic implants in Taiwan
Objective: To demonstrate cognitive outcome after subthalamic deep brain stimulation(DBS) in the patients with Parkinson's disease(PD) in Taiwan. Background: Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic…Comparison of clinically derived and model based programming parameters of subthalamic nucleus stimulation in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To test whether DBS parameters in chronically stimulated Parkinson´s disease (PD) patients chosen by clinical criteria are congruent with DBS parameters as derived from…Effectiveness and micro-electrodes findings of deep brain stimulation of the STN via a parietal approach in post-infectious previously implanted Parkinson´s patients
Objective: To report our experience with an alternative entry point to access STN in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) and its micro-electrodes findings. Background:…How do patients experience deep brain stimulation surgery: A prospective patient satisfaction survey
Objective: To evaluate experience of patients who undergo Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery for treatment of different movement disorders, using patient survey questionnaires. Background: DBS…DBS programming requirements and longevity
Objective: Determine need for programming for contemporary DBS systems, and the rate of explant, revision, or replacement. Background: DBS provides relief for motor symptoms of…A pilot study of horizontal current steering with chronically implanted segmented electrodes for STN-DBS in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the effect of horizontal current steering using a chronically implanted segmented lead and multiple independent current source technology on clinical effect and…Incidence and characteristics of gait dysfunction after subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation
Objective: To identify the effects of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation on gait kinematics in patients with PD and describe the incidence of gait dysfunction…Transient, symptomatic, non-infectious hypodensity around deep brain stimulation electrode
Objective: To report a post-operative, transient non-infectious, but symptomatic, brain edema surrounding the deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrode that resolved without intervention. Background: Potential hardware…
