Nigral stimulation for the treatment of refractory gait disturbances in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Evaluate the effect of SNr stimulation on freezing of gait and analyse changes in local field potentials. We describe an early-onset Parkinson´s disease patient…Dyskinesia-hyperpyrexia syndrome (DHS) after sudden interruption of deep brain stimulation and increase of oral dopaminergic therapy: A case report
Objective: To report the case of a PD patient treated with bilateral deep brain stimulation of subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) who developed DHS after the sudden…An investigation of the potential neuroprotective role of curcumin in Parkinson’s disease patient-derived fibroblasts
Objective: To investigate if the protective effects of curcumin previously observed in SH-SY5Y cells are also found in patient-derived fibroblasts from Parkinson’s disease patients. Background:…Respiratory Complaints in Individuals with Spinocerebelar Ataxia Type 2
Objective: Verify the presence of respiratory complaints and dysfunction in individuals with spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2).SCA2 is characterized by cerebellar ataxia, accompanied by dysarthria,…Cerebello-spinal stimulation in neurodegenerative ataxia: A randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled, crossover trial
Objective: The present study investigated whether a two-weeks' treatment with cerebellar anodal and spinal cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) could reduce symptoms in patients…
