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…Unilateral dual lead thalamic deep brain stimulation improves refractory essential tremor
Objective: To report on the results of utilization of multiple ipsilateral leads for DBS treatment of essential tremor. Background: Thalamic VIM DBS (deep brain stimulation)…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…Real-world safety of deep brain stimulation in patients with ≤7.5 years between disease onset and device implant
Objective: The intent of this analysis was to characterize real-world safety of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients with ≤7.5 years between Parkinson's disease (PD)…The effect of STN-DBS on movement initiation control is modulated by the noradrenergic system: Evidence of an interaction from a combined pharmacological/DBS/EEG study
Objective: Assessing the role of the noradrenergic system underlying the effect of subthalamic nucleus stimulation (STN-DBS) on akinesia. Background: Slowness in movement initiation, associated with…Chronic directional subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s disease – A pilot study
Objective: This pilot study aimed to assess the therapeutic potential of chronically implanted directional DBS leads in patients with Parkinson's disease. Background: The therapeutic effect…Long-term responsive deep brain stimulation in Tourette syndrome
Objective: To develop and measure the effectiveness of responsive deep brain stimulation for the treatment of Tourette syndrome. Background: Tourette's Syndrome (TS) is a paroxysmal…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…Evaluating the effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in mice with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA1)
Objective: To determine the therapeutic effects of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in mice with Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA1). Background: Ataxia is a movement disorder affecting balance…Effect of frequency modulation on freezing of gait in PD patients after bilateral STN DBS
Objective: To study various frequency settings and to identify the optimal frequency of bilateral subthalamic nuclei deep brain stimulation (DBS) for improvement in gait in…
