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

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 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
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 ...

The history of deep brain stimulation
Parkinsonism & Related DisordersDeep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery is an established and effective treatment for several movement disorders (tremor, Parkinson's disease, and dystonia), and is under investigation in numerous other neurological and psychiatric disorders. However, the origins and development of this neurofunctional technique are not always well understood and ...

Update on Deep Brain Stimulation
The Journal of ECT, 2002Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established therapy for movement disorders and an investigational treatment in other neurologic conditions and in neuropsychiatry. DBS can target with precision neuroanatomical targets deep within the brain that are proposed, on the basis of increasing evidence from functional neuroimaging and other methods, to be ...

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 ...

Thalamic Deep Brain Stimulation
2018The use of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the thalamus has been proven to be a safe and efficacious treatment for the management of many diseases. The most common indication for thalamic DBS remains essential tremor (ET), one of the most common movement disorders in the world.
