The effects of 60 Hz frequency of STN-DBS on gait in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the effect of low frequency (60Hz) deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) on gait in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD)…Jaw opening dystonia and blepharospasm following bilateral VIM DBS for postural and action dystonic tremor
Objective: We report an elderly patient with jaw opening dystonia and blepharospasm post-bilateral thalamic DBS performed for atypical dystonic tremor. Background: Ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM)…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…Deep brain stimulation in the treatment of cerebellar tremor in young patients
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of DBS on drug-resistant tremor secondary to alterations of the cerebellum or the dentato-rubro-thalamic pathways. Background: Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)…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…Efficacy of deep brain stimulation (DBS) patient education and post operative support: A summary of 3 months monitoring of unscheduled patient phone requests. An Australian private neurology clinic experience
Objective: To assess the effectiveness of preoperative DBS patient education and postoperative DBS clinical support through monitoring of unscheduled patient and others phone requests in…Modulation of thalamocortical network dynamics via deep brain stimulation in humans with Tourette syndrome
Objective: To (1) investigate the impact on thalamocortical network dynamics in response to low frequency and high frequency deep brain stimulation and (2) uncover the…Pallidal DBS and pallidotomy alter cortical synchronization in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate electrophysiologic characteristics of sensorimotor cortical activity in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) undergoing globus pallidus deep brain stimulation (GPi DBS) or radiofrequency…Dystonia-deafness syndrome caused by beta -actin gene mutation and the effect of pallidal deep brain stimulation
Objective: To report on two patients with dystonia-deafness syndrome associated with a mutation in the beta actin gene and a positive effect of pallidal deep…Axial prominent, delayed onset dystonia in cerebral palsy: Highlights on a distinct phenotype with favorable outcome following deep brain stimulation
Objective: To report on a subgroup of DCP patients with delayed onset of dystonia who received DBS therapy. Background: Dyskinetic cerebral palsy (DCP) is the…
