State of the art: deep brain stimulation in Parkinson's disease.

چکیده
Surgical therapy for Parkinson's disease has a long history beginning in the 1930s with empirical exploration of different brain targets, such as resection of the primary motor cortex or extirpation of the caudate. Recently, there has been a renaissance of functional neurosurgery for the treatment of advanced Parkinson's disease, particularly deep brain stimulation (DBS). To date, DBS of the globus pallidus interna and subthalamic nucleus has been reported to relieve motor symptoms and levodopa-induced dyskinesia in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease. DBS also has different advantages over pallidotomy and subthalamotomy, including reversibility, decreased risk of reoperation and decreased morbidity. In addition to well-experienced neurologists and neurosurgeons, a multidisciplinary team approach is fundamental and critical to ensure success in the DBS procedure in individual patients. With the advances in neuroimaging, neurophysiology and localization techniques, it is increasingly likely that there will be more surgical targets in the future that can also improve cardinal features of Parkinson's disease, or even nonmotor manifestations of this condition.

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...
متن کاملControl of epileptic seizures by electrical low frequency deep brain stimulation: A review of probable mechanisms
Epilepsy is the most common neurological disease with no definitive method in treatment. Notably, the main way to treat and control epileptic seizures is drug therapy. However, about 20-30% of patients with epilepsy are drug resistant and require other therapeutic manners. Deep brain stimulation is a new therapeutic strategy for these patients. Conspicuously, there are no clear answers for basi...

The use of deep brain stimulation in psychiatric disorders has received great interest owing to the small risk of the operation, the reversible nature of the technique, and the possibility of optimizing treatment postoperatively. Currently deep brain stimulation in psychiatry is investigated for obsessive-compulsive disorder, Gilles de la Tourette’s syndrome and major depression. This presentat...
