Insulin dependent diabetes and hand tremor
Objective: Tremor is the most common type of involuntary movement. Clinically tremor can be classified into physiological, essential, dystonic, Parkinsonian and psychogenic. Risk for hand…Increase L-dopa dosage for rest tremor or think about the essential tremor too?
Objective: A 57-year old man with hand tremor is diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PD) and treated with high dose levodopa (L-dopa) during last 5 years,…Incidence of waning tremor control in essential tremor patients with deep brain stimulation
Objective: To determine the incidence of loss of tremor control in essential tremor (ET) patients who have undergone ventralis intermedius thalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation…Quantification of tremor and rigidity during deep brain stimulation surgery for Parkison’s disease
Objective: The aim of this study is to validate practical and objective measures to assess changes in rigidity and tremor due to micro-lesion effects and…Regulation in speech motor control in ET patients treated with DBS: Kinematics of the lingual and the labial systems
Objective: We aim to quantify the effects of VIM-DBS on speech regulation mechanisms in patients with Essential Tremor (ET). Background: VIM-DBS is an effective treatment…MR-guided high intensity focused ultrasound in Parkinson’s disease: A series of 5 cases
Objective: We present results of an ongoing trial of unilateral transcranial MR-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (tcMRgFUS) ablation of the pallido-thalamic tract (PTT, fasciculus thalamicus)…Effect of zonisamide on post-traumatic Holmes’ tremor
Objective: To report a case of a patient with Holmes' tremor following post-traumatic cerebellar lesion, who showed an excellent response to zonisamide. Background: Holmes' tremor…Transcranial unilateral MR guided high intensity focused ultrasound in Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor seems to be save concerning dysphagia and dysarthria
Objective: To report first results of a study monitoring speech and swallowing function after lesional functional neurosurgery for movement disorders. Background: Transcranial MR-guided high intensity…Deep brain stimulation of the dentate nucleus improves ataxia and modulates cortical excitability
Objective: To assess tremor and ataxia changes by dentate nucleus deep brain stimulation and evaluate how DBS could modulate cortical excitability seen in cerebellar stroke.…Unilateral focused ultrasound thalamotomy in tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease
Objective: To evaluate the safety, feasibility, and durability of focused ultrasound thalamotomy on tremor in PD. Background: Surgical treatment of PD currently involves deep brain…
