Weight loss post deep brain stimulation to bilateral subthalamic nuclei in a Parkinson’s disease with PARKIN mutation – A Harbinger sign of malignancy
Objective: We present a challenging case of genetic PD who presented with progressive weight loss and constipation despite post-DBS and was found to have malignancy.…Clinical Experience with Mixed System Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS): Retrospective Analysis
Objective: In this retrospective analysis, we aim to evaluate adverse events with mixed system DBS and rate of off-label clinical MRI. Background: The use of…Cognitive outcomes in thalamic deep brain stimulation for essential tremor: evaluating effect of anesthetic exposure and surgical approach
Objective: This study examined cognitive outcomes after deep brain stimulation (DBS) of ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus (VIM). Duration of anesthesia exposure and additional…Challenges in Airway Management after Deep Brain Stimulation in DYT1 Dystonia: a Case Report
Objective: To highlight the challenges in upper airway management following deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients with severe, medically refractory DYT1 dystonia and to emphasize…Long term real-world monitoring supports the superiority of adaptive deep brain stimulation: preliminary data on three patients with Parkinson’s disease
Objective: Describe the preliminary results of adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) treatment for Parkinson’s disease (PD) and the value of real-world monitoring in defining clinical…Characterization of DBS-induced Speech Improvements in a German PD Cohort
Objective: To investigate speech changes induced by subthalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) in persons with Parkinson’s disease (pwPD). Background: Dysarthria is a common debilitating motor…Evaluation of Effects of Levodopa and Subthalamic Nucleus Stimulation (STN-DBS) on Gait using Quantified Timed Up and Go Test in People with Parkinson’s Disease (PD)
Objective: This study evaluates effect of medication and stimulation on transfers and gait in people with PD post STN-DBS using an automated, quantitative assessment involving…Automated Image-Guided Programming Algorithm Supports Clinicians During DBS Programming for Parkinson’s Disease Patients
Objective: To assess clinical outcomes of an acute automated image-guided programming (aIGP) algorithm in PD patients implanted with a deep brain stimulation (DBS) system. Background:…Optimization of Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation Settings in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To evaluate the specific programming parameters of adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and identify the most effective settings for optimizing…Predictors of Clinical Benefit from Adaptive DBS Compared to Conventional DBS in Parkinson’s Disease
Objective: To identify patient characteristics predicting adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) superiority over conventional DBS (cDBS) in Parkinson's disease (PD). Background: Adaptive DBS, modulated in…
