Deep Brain Stimulation - Methods
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Deep Brain Stimulation'Therapy for MOVEMENT DISORDERS, especially PARKINSON DISEASE, that applies electricity via stereotactic implantation of ELECTRODES in specific areas of the BRAIN such as the THALAMUS. The electrodes are attached to a neurostimulator placed subcutaneously. Common names: Deep Brain Stimulation; Brain Stimulations, Deep; Deep Brain Stimulations; Stimulation, Deep Brain; Stimulations, Deep Brain; Brain Stimulation, Deep; Electrical Stimulation of the Brain |

OBJECT: The aim of the current study was to examine and compare the aftereffects of local high-frequency microstimulation through the recording electrode on the firing of neurons in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and the substantia nigra pars ... Read more...
Dysphagia and neuropathic facial pain treated with motor cortex stimulation: case report.
30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: We report on a patient with a neuropathic facial pain syndrome, including elements of trigeminal neuralgia, glossopharyngeal neuralgia, and dysphagia. After failing medical and surgical decompressive treatments, the patient underwent ... Read more...
Treatment of hyperkinetic movement disorders.
30 Aug 2009 Parkinson's disease, the most common hypokinetic movement disorder, has received much attention from the clinical and scientific community, but there has been a relative paucity of comprehensive reviews of hyperkinetic disorders, even though they ... Read more...
