Deep brain stimulation of the internal globus pallidus in dystonia: target localisation under general anaesthesia.

24 May 2009 Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the internal globus pallidus (Gpi) is an effective therapy for various types of dystonia. The authors describe their technical approach for securing appropriate placement of the stimulating electrodes within the Gpi ... Read more...

Brain penetration effects of microelectrodes and DBS leads in STN or GPi.

20 Feb 2009 OBJECTIVE: To determine how intraoperative microelectrode recordings (MER) and intraoperative lead placement acutely influence tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia. Secondarily, to evaluate whether the longevity of the MER and lead placement effects ... Read more...

Comparison of unilateral pallidotomy and subthalamotomy findings in advanced idiopathic Parkinson's disease.

30 Jan 2009 A prospective, randomized, double-blind pilot study to compare the results of stereotactic unilateral pallidotomy and subthalamotomy in advanced idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) refractory to medical treatment was designed. Ten consecutive ... Read more...
