Suppression of dyskinesia in Parkinson’s disease by electrical stimulation of dorsal subthalamic nucleus tissue
Objective: The objectives of this study were to investigate suppression of dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients who had previously undergone deep brain stimulation (DBS)…Clinical effects of pallidal stimulation in dystonia are quantitatively related to intracortical inhibition
Objective: To distinguish between patients with dystonia according to the clinical outcome of pallidal stimulation (GPi DBS) using intracortical inhibition of the motor cortex assessed…Long-latency somatosensory evoked potentials of the subthalamic nucleus
Objective: This study aims to clarify the role of the STN, previously suggested as an integrative component in the control of the basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuit,…Toward clinical use of electrode localizations in deep brain stimulation therapy
Objective: To develop an open source software capable of performing electrode localizations certified for clinical use in deep brain stimulation therapy. Background: Deep brain stimulation…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…The subthalamic nucleus activity during gait in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To investigate the activity of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) during gait in subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Gait disturbance is a key component…Effectiveness of bilateral pallidal deep brain stimulation in a patient with dystonia associated to neurodegenerative ataxia: Follow-up to 18 months
Objective: CASE REPORT Background: The dystonia like others movement disorder may be included in neurodegenerative ataxia syndrome, in addition to cerebellar dysfunction. The pallidal stimulation…Serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor as an indication of disease state in parkinsonism and RBD
Objective: Evaluation of peripheral concentrations of brain-derived neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) in patients with Parkinsonian disorders and correlation with clinical measurements of disease progression to elucidate…
