Deep brain stimulation for dystonia [PDF]
Journal of Neurology, 2016 This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: To compare the efficacy, safety and tolerability of deep brain stimulation versus placebo, sham intervention, or best medical care, including botulinum neurotoxin and

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 ...

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).

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 ...

Functional imaging of deep brain stimulation in dystonia: a review
Dystonia, 2023 Much remains to be learned about the mechanism of benefit of deep brain stimulation in movement disorders in general and dystonia specifically. A full accounting of the pathophysiology of dystonia additionally remains unclear.

Optogenetics and deep brain stimulation neurotechnologies [PDF]
, 2015 Brain neural network is composed of densely packed, intricately wired neurons whose activity patterns ultimately give rise to every behavior, thought, or emotion that we experience. Over the past decade, a novel neurotechnique, optogenetics that combines

Neuroimaging and Deep Brain Stimulation [PDF]
American Journal of Neuroradiology, 2009 Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a new neurosurgical method principally used for the treatment of Parkinson disease (PD). Many new applications of DBS are under development, including the treatment of intractable psychiatric diseases. Brain imaging is used for the selection of patients for DBS, to localize the target nucleus, to detect complications ...
