Closed- and Open-loop Deep Brain Stimulation: Methods, Challenges, Current and Future Aspects
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is known as the most effective technique in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, especially Parkinson disease (PD) and epilepsy. Relative healing and effective control of disease symptoms are the most significant reasons for the tangible tendency in use and development of this technology. Nevertheless, more cellular and molecular investigations are required ...
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...
متن کاملTreatment of Neurological and Psychiatric Disorders with Deep Brain Stimulation Raising Hopes and Future Challenges
The technology of Neural Stimulation in recent years has become the focus of the research and treatment, although it has been around for many years. The potential use of stimulating the brain and nerves ranges from the spinal cord stimulation to the implantations of cochlear and bionic eyes with a large discrepancy between the clinical readiness for these various uses. Electrical high-frequency...

Abstract Background: To improve the debilitating features of Parkinson disease (PD) different medical and surgical approaches are available. Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) was appeared to be a promising method during last two decades. This study aimed to evaluate early motor outcomes of this procedure in first trial of Iranian patients . Methods: Thirty-seven...
متن کاملThe effect of bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) on the acoustic and prosodic features in patients with Parkinson’s disease: A study protocol for the first trial on Iranian patients
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 کاملAnatomical situation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) from midcommissural point (MCP) in Parkinson\'s disease patients underwent deep brain stimulation (DBS): an MRI targeting study
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...
