Anesthesia for deep brain stimulation
Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2011Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a well accepted treatment modality for many movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease and an increasing number of other functional neurological disorders like dystonias and epilepsy. This review will highlight the recent developments in our knowledge regarding the effects of anesthetic agents on neurophysiologic ...

Neurophysiology of Deep Brain Stimulation
2012We review the data concerning the neurophysiology of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in humans, especially in reference to Parkinson's disease. The electric field generated by DBS interacts with the brain in complex ways, and several variables could influence the DBS-induced biophysical and clinical effects.

Deep brain stimulation in dystonia
Journal of Neurology, 2003Renewed interest in stereotaxy for dystonia followed the introduction of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson's disease and essential tremor in the 1990s. DBS evolved from ablative surgery, which was applied with varying results in the 1950s in patients with movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor and dystonia. The present

The Future of Deep Brain Stimulation
Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2004During the last year, there has been an increase in the number of applications of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for the treatment of several neurologic disorders. With a better understanding of the mechanisms of action of DBS, it is likely that improvement in the outcomes and an increase in the indications for these procedures will be possible. In fact,

Deep brain stimulation for dystonia
Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2005Dystonia refers to movement disorders characterized by sustained muscle contractions that produce abnormal postures, twisting movements, and other abnormal involuntary movements. A spectrum of etiologies underlies the various dystonia syndromes, ranging from genetic conditions to brain injury.

Deep brain stimulation in headache
The Lancet Neurology, 2006The therapeutic use of deep brain stimulation to relieve intractable pain began in the 1950s. In some patients, stimulation of the periaqueductal grey matter induced headache with migrainous features, indicating a pathophysiological link between neuromodulation of certain brain structures and headache.Neuroimaging studies have revealed specific ...

Deep brain stimulation in headache
Cephalalgia, 2016Background: Deep brain stimulation of the posterior hypothalamic area was first introduced in 2000 to treat drug-refractory chronic cluster headache (CH). Findings: So far, hypothalamic stimulation has been employed in 79 patients suffering from various forms of intractable short-lasting unilateral headache forms, mainly trigeminal autonomic ...
