Cognitive and Behavioural Changes After Deep Brain Stimulation of the Subthalamic Nucleus in Parkinson’s Disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
In patients with Parkinson’s disease, cognitive impairment is common, may be detectable in early disease stages, even in young patients, and may progress to overt dementia. In addition, a variety of psychiatric and behavioural symptoms may occur in Parkinsonian patients, including depression, apathy, anxiety, visual hallucinations, sleep disorders, impulse control disorders, punding and the dopamine dysregulation syndrome. The cognitive and behavioural symptoms observed in these patients may be part of the non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, which can appear in various phases of the disease course.

Introduction: Parkinson’s disease is one of the most disabling diseases which by electrode implantation and stimulation of subthalamic nucleus (STN), much progress has been made in the treatment of drug resistant patient. This new method of neurosurgery may have some neuropsychological side effects on the patients. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of this kind of treatment ...

Background: The effect of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) on the voice features in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is controversial. No study has evaluated the voice features of PD underwent STN-DBS by the acoustic, perceptual, and patient-based assessments comprehensively. Furthermore, there is no study to investigate prosodic features before and after DBS in PD. The curren...

متن کاملCognitive Changes after Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson’s Disease: A Critical Review
Concern about cognitive worsening, especially after subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been reported in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients, although it has not been deemed severe enough to discredit DBS as a powerful tool in the armamentarium against PD. We here provide an in-depth and critical review of the current literature on this topic, summarizing the available data...

Abstract Introduction: It is demonstrated that the degree of clinical improvement in Parkinson's disease (PD) achieved by deep brain stimulation (DBS) is largely dependent on the accuracy of lead placement. In addition, individual variability in the situation of subthalamic nucleus (STN) is responsible for spatial inter-individual fluctuations of the real patient's target. Objecti...
