Thalamic Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson’s Disease
With recent advances in neuroimaging and neurosurgical techniques as well as better understanding of functional motor brain circuits, there is increasing evidence that electrical deep brain stimulation (DBS) can be a powerful and safe therapeutic option for medically intractable movement disorders and neuropsychiatric diseases. For more than half a century, the ventrolateral (VL) nucleus of the...

متن کاملThalamic Deep Brain Stimulation for Orthostatic Tremor
BACKGROUND Orthostatic tremor is an uncommon disorder manifest by high frequency, low amplitude leg tremor upon weight bearing. Treatment with oral tremor agents is inconsistent and usually not satisfactory. METHODS We implanted bilateral ventralis intermedius nuclei deep brain stimulators into an 82-year-old male with refractory orthostatic tremor. RESULTS The patient had a marked subjecti...
متن کاملThalamic deep brain stimulation for tremor-predominant Parkinson's disease.
OBJECTIVES Determine the long-term efficacy of thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) for treatment of tremor among individuals with tremor-predominant Parkinson's disease (PD).Design. Longitudinal, unblinded assessment of tremor and activities of daily living (ADL) at baseline (pre-surgical), and post-operative intervals of 1, 3, and 12 months, and annually thereafter up to 3 years. METHODS A...
متن کاملBoth thalamic and pallidal deep brain stimulation for myoclonic dystonia.
Myoclonic dystonia is poorly managed with medication and may be severe enough to warrant surgical intervention. Surgery has targeted either the globus pallidus pars interna (GPi) or the thalamus, but there is no accepted target for this condition. The authors present the case of a 23-year-old man treated with unilateral deep brain stimulation in both the thalamus and GPi. His movement disorder ...
