Is directional stimulation of the VIM superior to omnidirectional stimulation in patients with essential tremor?
Objective: To determine whether directional stimulation of the VIM is superior to omnidirectional stimulation in essential tremor. Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the VIM…Searching for the optimal functional target for deep brain stimulation in Essential Tremor
Objective: To investigate tremor improvement but also side effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for essential tremor (ET) and their relationship to the volumes of…Deep Brain Stimulation of VIM Thalamic Nucleus for Tremor Control
Objective: Compare safety, tolerability, efficiency and efficacy of DBS (VIM DBS) for tremor in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Non Parkinsonian Patients over 25 years. Background:…A case of donepezil-induced multifocal myoclonus
Objective: To describe the case of a patient who developed severe multifocal myoclonus due to donepezil. Background: Donepezil is a cholinesterase inhibitor frequently used to…Drug-Induced Parkinsonism May Persist Beyond Two Years After Discontinuation of Dopamine Transmission Blocking Agents
Objective: To demonstrate that patients with drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP) can remain symptomatic beyond 6 months, what majority of literature suggests, after withdrawal of causative agents.…A Study of Social Cognition in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To study the social cognition in patients with PD and compare it with normal controls Background: Patients with PD have difficulty expressing emotion which…Alterations of Blood Pressure Circadian Rhythm in Alpha-Synucleinopathies
Objective: To analyze the blood pressure (BP) circadian rhythm in Parkinson’s disease (PD), multiple system atrophy (MSA), and pure autonomic failure (PAF), evaluating possible differences…Influence of cognitive abilities on prominence production in mild dysarthric patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: This study investigates prominence marking (highlighting of prominent elements by adjusting speech parameters in the glottal, supraglottal and subglottal systems) and how this ability…Deep Brain Stimulation of the Subthalamic Nucleus and Globus Pallidus for apathy in PD patients
Objective: The present meta-analysis was therefore performed to clarify the effects of STN DBS and GPi DBS on apathy. Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of…Brain amyloid contribution to cognitive dysfunction in Lewy bodies disorders: a pilot study
Objective: To investigate regional [18F]florbetapir binding to amyloid-β and its contribution to cognitive dysfunction in Lewy bodies disorders. Background: Lewy bodies disorders like Parkinson’s disease…
