Anticholinergic Burden and Botulinum Toxin Needs after Deep Brain Stimulation in Adult and Pediatric Patients with Dystonia

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Anticholinergic medications and botulinum neurotoxin injections are established treatments for dystonia, yet they carry potential side effects and practical challenges. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is offered in case of poor response to these approaches.

Thalamic ventrobasal stimulation for pain relief: probable mechanisms, pathways and neurotransmitters

open access: yesArquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 1994
Thalamic ventrobasal (VB) stimulation, first performed by Mazars, in 1961, is a valuable means for treating central and deafferentation pain. The way it acts to achieve pain relief, however, is still a matter of controversy.

Motor and Cognitive Outcome After Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation in Patients with Parkinson's Disease Harboring GBA1 Variant

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is effective for Parkinson's disease (PD); however, its efficacy varies with genetic background, such as the GBA1 variant—the causative gene of Gaucher disease—associated with increased PD risk and cognitive decline after subthalamic nucleus (STN)‐DBS.

Dystonia Scales for Children: Challenges and Obstacles in DBS Practice

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dystonia in pediatric patients often coexists with other movement disorders and neurodevelopmental issues. Current rating scales for evaluating pediatric deep brain stimulation (DBS) candidates are not universally applicable and often require a non‐validated combination of the existing scales.

Expression of GAD65 and GAD67 immunoreactivity in MPTP-treated monkeys with or without l-DOPA administration

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2005
This study investigated the consequences of levodopa treatment on the expression of the 65- and 67-kDa isoforms of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD65 and GAD67) immunoreactivity in the basal ganglia and cortex of monkeys rendered Parkinsonian by systemic ...

Effects of Pallidal Deep Brain Stimulation on Speech and Swallowing in Pediatric Patients with Dystonia

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bilateral globus pallidus internus deep brain stimulation (GPi‐DBS) is a proven safe and effective treatment in certain forms of idiopathic or inherited dystonia (ID/IN). Its effects in acquired dystonia such as in dyskinetic cerebral palsy (DCP) however vary widely.
