Stereotactic surgery targeting on ventral oral posterior/ventral intermediate (Vop/Vim) in patients with upper limb dystonia: Neuronal activity and optimal effective site
Objective: To evaluate the neural activity at the optimal site of ablation or deep brain stimulation (DBS), targeting on caudal Zona incerta (cZi) through ventral…Deep brain stimulation outcomes for dystonia in adult and pediatric patients at Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare
Objective: Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare is a non-profit independent hospital whose aim is to provide care to medically complicated patients with a special focus on…High voltage stimulation of the VIM thalamus mimicking PSP in a patient with ET + PD
Objective: To report a case of an 81 year-old male with ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) deep brain stimulation (DBS) for essential tremor (ET) who developed…Focusing precision and lesion size in cerebello-thalamo-tractotomy by MR imaging-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MRgFUS)
Objective: Focusing precision in tcMRgFUS tractotomy depends on the ability of the treatment system to compensate for acoustic field distortions induced by the patient skull.…Safety of deep brain stimulation for movement disorders: A single-centre long-term standardized recording and analysis
Objective: To analyze the long-term safety of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) procedures for patients with movement disorders. Background: DBS is currently indicated to treat several…Thalamic-subthalamic deep brain stimulation for refractory orthostatic tremor: A report of 3 cases
Objective: To report a case series of thalamic-subthalamic deep brain stimulation for the treatment of refractory orthostatic tremor. Background: Orthostatic tremor (OT) is a rare,…Ataxic gait in subjects with essential tremor and thalamic neurostimulation is caused by posteromedial current spread in the (sub)thalamic area
Objective: We aimed to disentangle a putative role of bilateral thalamic DBS in developing gait-ataxia in subjects with ET. Background: In ET patients with DBS,…Unilateral MR-guided high intensity focused ultrasound ablation of the cerebellothalamic tract in essential tremor
Objective: To report interim results of an ongoing trial of unilateral transcranial MR-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (tcMRgFUS) ablation of the cerebellothalamic tract (CTT) in…Comparison of cognitive and neuropsychological manifestations in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (Psp) and Parkinson’s disease
Objective: 1) To compare the cognitive and neuropsychological manifestations between the patients with PSP and PD. 2) To find out the severity of caregivers distress…Hand skin temperature and its response to cooling in clinical differentiation of multiple system atrophy and Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To determine the value of testing hand temperature and its response to cooling for differential diagnosis of multiple system atrophy (MSA) versus Parkinson's disease…
