Constant-current stimulation in Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: To evaluate the clinical effect (motor, non-motor and cognitive) of a three-month switch from constant-voltage (CV) to constant-current (CC) stimulation in Parkinson's disease (PD)…Weight changes in PD patients post-DBS: A look at the factors involved
Objective: To evaluate the factors associated with weight changes in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients after deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. Background: DBS is a well-established…Neuropsychological safety of bilateral pallidal (GPi) deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease (PD) under general anesthesia
Objective: To evaluate neuropsychological outcome of bilateral GPi DBS carried out under general anesthesia using a combination of direct anatomical targeting and intraoperative computed tomography…Recharge frequency is not driven by therapy power usage in patients implanted with rechargeable deep brain stimulation systems
Objective: To explore the relationship between recharge frequency and therapy power usage in patients with rechargeable deep brain stimulation (DBS) devices. Background: Advancements in DBS…Assessment of freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease patients treated with STN-DBS
Objective: To evaluate FOG in patients with PD treated with STN-DBS and to compare sensitivity of different assessments of FOG in this specific group of…Transcranial unilateral MR guided high intensity focused ultrasound in Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor seems to be save concerning dysphagia and dysarthria
Objective: To report first results of a study monitoring speech and swallowing function after lesional functional neurosurgery for movement disorders. Background: Transcranial MR-guided high intensity…AntiParkinsonian medication adjustments following deep brain stimulation of subthalamic nucleus in patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the long-term changes in medication of patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) following STN-DBS in our center. Background: Usually antiParkinsonian…Cognitive change following deep brain stimulation in patients with movement disorders
Objective: To assess the degree and pattern of cognitive changes following Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), Dystonia and Essential Tremor…DTI tractographic correlates of weight gain in Parkinson’s disease patients after STN DBS
Objective: To assess DTI connectivity patterns and correlations with weight gain in Parkinson's disease patients after STN DBS. Background: Weight gain is a well-known adverse…Unilateral focused ultrasound thalamotomy in tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the safety, feasibility, and durability of focused ultrasound thalamotomy on tremor in PD. Background: Surgical treatment of PD currently involves deep brain…
