Deep Brain Stimulation of the Deep Cerebellar Nuclei for Refractory Tremor
This objective of this study is to document the safety and feasibility of electrical stimulation of the deep cerebellar nuclei for refractory tremor using the Medtronic Percept RC Deep Brain Stimulation System. The population will consist of patients that have either failed a prior intervention (Vim DBS or HIFU thalamotomy) …
Sensory-specific Peripheral Stimulation for Tremor Management
The purpose of this study is to understand the neurophysiological mechanisms of peripheral electrical stimulation (PES) in modulating supraspinal tremorogenic input to motoneurons. For this purpose, the investigators will use transcutaneous PES, high-density electromyography (HD-EMG), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), electroencephalography (EEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and neuromusculoskeletal modelling. This study …
24-months Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of Peroneal Transcutaneous NeuroModulation in Subjects With Parkinson's Disease and Essential Tremor
This study investigates the long-term safety and tolerability of home peroneal eTNM® therapy using the URIS I™ device in subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD) or Essential Tremor (ET). Previously, a 6-week open-label pilot study with 24 PD or ET patients demonstrated that home-based peroneal eTNM® is safe, well-tolerated, and has …
Modulate Tremor Severity With Low-intensity Focused Ultrasound Stimulation Targeting the Deep Nucleus of Patients With Refractory Hand Tremor.
The study plans to recruit 12 patients with Parkinsonian tremor, essential tremor, or dystonic tremor. After receiving NaviFUS-ctbTUS stimulation, the improvement in their tremor will be recorded.
Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery for Movement Disorders
Background Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an approved surgery for certain movement disorders, like Parkinson's disease, that do not respond well to other treatments. DBS uses a battery-powered device called a neurostimulator (like a pacemaker) that is placed under the skin in the chest. It is used to stimulate the …
Cortical-Basal Ganglia Speech Networks
In this research study the researchers want to learn more about brain activity related to speech perception and production.
The Effect of Alcohol on Common Tremor Syndromes
The aim of this interventional study is to compare the response to alcohol in patients with essential tremor (ET), essential tremor plus (ETplus), dystonic tremor (DT), tremor associated with dystonia (TaD) and tremor in Parkinson´s disease (PD). The main question to be answered is: • Is there a difference in …
Neurofeedback Using Implanted Deep Brain Stimulation Electrodes
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has become a gold-standard symptomatic treatment option for Parkinson's disease (PD) and is also explored for a variety of other neurological disorders. The implantation of electrodes into deep brain areas has not only enabled the application of electrical stimuli, but has also provided researchers and clinicians …
The BRAINMAP-DBS Study: BRain Network AnalysIs usiNg 7-Tesla MRI and MAgnetoencephalograPhy for Deep Brain Stimulation
Rationale: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective treatment for essential tremor and Parkinson's disease. The effect of DBS relies on the modulation of dysfunctional motor brain networks and on average 50% motor improvement is achieved, using standardized motor evaluation scores. However, approximately 20% of treated patients show insufficient benefit, …
Possibilities of Use MRI-Guided Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy in Medically Intractable Tremor
Medically intractable tremors are a common difficult clinical situation. Deep brain stimulation decreases Parkinson's disease tremor and essential tremor, but not all patients are candidates from a diagnostic, medical, or social standpoint, prompting the need for alternative surgical strategies. Less invasive lesional brain surgery (thalamotomy) procedures by radio-surgery or MRI-guided …
