Annual Review of Neuroscience, 2006 Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has provided remarkable benefits for people with a variety of neurologic conditions. Stimulation of the ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus can dramatically relieve tremor associated with essential tremor or Parkinson disease (PD).

Neurology Clinical Practice, 2012 High-frequency deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established therapy for Parkinson disease (PD), essential tremor, and primary dystonia, and is under investigation for several neuropsychiatric diseases. DBS for PD, in the subthalamic nucleus or globus pallidus interna (GPi), improves tremor, bradykinesia, and rigidity, emotional well-being and sleep ...

The Neurologist, 2007 Deep brain stimulation (DBS) for the treatment of neurologic diseases has markedly increased in popularity over the past 15 years. This review primarily focuses on movement disorder applications and efficacy of DBS, but also briefly reviews other promising new and old uses of DBS.A multidisciplinary team consisting of a movement disorders neurologist ...

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2023 IntroductionObsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) affects 2–3% of the global population, causing distress in many functioning levels. Standard treatments only lead to a partial recovery, and about 10% of the patients remain treatment-resistant.

Brain Sciences, 2023 Background: Postural instability is one of the most restricting motor symptoms for patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). While medication therapy only shows minor effects, it is still unclear whether medication in conjunction with deep brain ...

Neural Plasticity, 2022 Temporal interference (TI) could stimulate deep motor cortex and induce movement without affecting the overlying cortex in previous mouse studies. However, there is still lack of evidence on potential TI effects in human studies.

Deep brain stimulation for dystonia [PDF]
Journal of Neurology, 2016 The dystonias are a relatively rare group of movement disorders that often prove difficult to treat effectively. In recent years, advances in our understanding of genetics has allowed identification of a number of causative mutations, as well as acquired aetiologies including peri-natal insults. However, despite this progress, pharmacological treatment

Frontiers for Young Minds, 2014 Some patients with neurological diseases (e.g., a disease that involves abnormal brain function) do not respond well to the available medications and must resort to alternative surgical therapies to manage their symptoms. Parkinson's disease (PD), for example, involves damage to a specific brain area called the basal ganglia and is characterized by ...

Neural plasticity in human brain connectivity: the effects of long term deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus in Parkinson's disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Positive clinical outcomes are now well established for deep brain stimulation, but little is known about the effects of long-term deep brain stimulation on brain structural and functional connectivity.
