Physiological Brain Atlas Development
The NIH grant has funded the development of a physiological brain atlas registry that will allow us to significantly improve the data collectioin and use of physiological data into a normalized brain volume. This initially was used to improve DBS implants for Parkinson's Disease, Dystonia, Essential Tremor, and OCD, but …
Functional Brain Network Changes in Patients Undergoing Deep Brain Stimulation for Essential Tremor
The purpose of this study is to collect electrophysiological data related to functional brain network changes in patients undergoing deep brain stimulation for the treatment of essential tremor. Participants will be asked to remain seated with their head inside of a Magnetoencephalography (MEG) recording system as resting-state and task-related data …
Analysis of Clinical Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Magnetic Resonance-Guided Focused Ultrasound for Medication-Refractory Tremor
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thalamotomy in patients with medication-refractory essential tremor. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does MRgFUS thalamotomy provide sustained reduction in tremor severity over 3 years? What are the long-term …
The STEREO-DBS ET Study: 7-Tesla MRI Brain Network Analysis for Deep Brain Stimulation in Essential Tremor
Rationale: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the thalamus is an effective surgical treatment for the patients with advanced essential tremor, despite optimal pharmacological treatment. However, individual improvement after DBS remains variable and 20% of patients experience side effects. To date, DBS-electrode placement and settings in the highly connected thalamus are …
Motor Network Physiology
The brain networks controlling movement are complex, involving multiple areas of the brain. Some neurological disorders, like Parkinson's disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET), cause abnormalities in these brain networks. Deep brain stimulation is a treatment that is used to treat these types of neurological diseases and is thought to …
Tapping Test and the Archimedean Spiral for the Differential Diagnosis of Tremor. Machine Learning Approach
In clinical practice, it is sometimes difficult to establish whether a patient's tremor is due to Parkinson's disease or essential tremor. The distinction is crucial as the health implications differ significantly between the two conditions. Therefore, the present study aims to develop a diagnostic method based on machine learning techniques …
Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation Prospective Outcomes Study for Central Nervous System - RAPID for CNS
The objective of this study is to compile real-world outcomes of Boston Scientific commercially approved radiofrequency (RF) ablation systems used in the central nervous system (CNS) for use in functional neurosurgery.
Studies of Brain and Body Interaction
The goal of this study is to characterize biophysiolgoical signals as a comprehensive profile of the nervous systems in order to understand interactions between the brain and body, while an individual performs naturalistic behaviors (ex. walking, pointing) and while breathing at a slow controlled pace. The investigators aim to study …
