Modulation of local field potentials during gait in the STN of patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: PD patients with implanted DBS electrodes allow for the investigation of basal ganglia activity during gait. Background: Whereas the overall spectral content of local…Parkinsonian symptoms in patients with cervical dystonia treated with bilateral pallidal deep brain stimulation: A controlled study
Objective: To 1) evaluate the presence of Parkinsonian symptoms in patients with cervical dystonia treated with bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus…Deep brain stimulation of the locomotor mesencephalic region in rats with lesioned sensorimotor cortex: A model of functional motor recovery after stroke
Objective: To evaluate whether electrical stimulation of the locomotor mesencephalic region (LMR) in rats with lesioned sensorimotor cortex improves (1) locomotion assessed by the CatWalk…A multi-site survey of Parkinson’s disease deep brain stimulation center best practice: moving toward a standard of care for DBS
Objective: To survey how Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Centers handle referrals and peri-operative (surgical and non-surgical) treatment of persons with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Currently…The long-term follow-up of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation comparing medication alone in advanced Parkinson’s disease patients
Objective: To investigate whether advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) patients receive subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) or medical treatment alone have different long-term outcome. Background:…Evaluation of the accuracy of stereotactic DBS electrode implantation by post-operative image fusion
Objective: The precision in implantation of deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes based on pre-operative MRI planning is of utmost importance for the success of this…Implantable pulse generator (IPG) longevity decreases following each replacement surgery in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients treated with bilateral sub-thalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS)
Objective: To investigate the influence of the number of implantable pulse generator (IPG) replacement surgeries and the IPG model on battery life in bilateral STN…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…Bacterial biofilm formation on neurostimulation systems
Objective: The aim of this study is to identify specifically the DNA of bacterial biofilm on neurostimulation systems using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Background: Bacterial…Deep brain stimulation may lead to dramatic worsening of slowly progressive multiple system atrophy: A clinico-pathological series and review of the literature
Objective: The aim of the present study is to describe one of the largest series of histologically proven multiple system atrophy (MSA) patients, who underwent…
