Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation in Speech Study
Parkinson's disease (PD) patients treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) have unpredictable and varied speech outcomes after this treatment. Our research will prospectively document speech performance before, during and 6- and 12-months after STN-DBS in 80 surgically treated patients and compared with 40 non-surgical controls …
Deep Brain Stimulation-Induced Mania in Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a common and debilitating neurodegenerative disease. While medication can alleviate its symptoms, not all patients will adequately respond to medical therapy. For these cases, deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been used to improve symptoms and quality of life. Nevertheless, this approach is, in some cases, associated …
Deep Brain Stimulation for Visuomotor Function in Parkinson's Disease
Inability to align and refocus the eyes on the objects at different depths, i.e., vergence impairment, frequently affects the quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease. Our study aims to understand the location-specific effects of subthalamic region deep brain stimulation on vergence by integrating the patient-specific deep brain stimulation …
Observational Database on Deep Brain Stimulation in Tourette Syndrome
Within an ongoing deep brain stimulation (DBS) program for Tourette syndrome (TS) at the Department of Neurology, Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, Paris/France, the investigator team plans to evaluate patients pre-operatively and then at one year intervals post-operatively until the 5-year mark has been achieved. The investigator team will investigate tic severity, psychiatric …
Cognitive Decline Following Deep Brain Stimulation: A DBS-fMRI Study
The objective of this research study is to understand how Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) targeting the subthalamic nucleus (STN) affects cognitive networks in the brain, potentially leading to cognitive decline in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD). A total of 55 participants with PD who have undergone DBS surgery will be …
Circuit-Based Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease P1A2&3 Catalyst
This study will help us better understand how the brain works in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). PD is a brain disease that gets worse over time, and affects over 10 million people world-wide. A common treatment for PD is Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). To improve DBS therapy for PD, …
Correlation of Tractography and Motor Evoked Potentials in Deep Brain Stimulation
The goal is to establish another anatomical referencing system in order to achieve an even higher accuracy when implanting stimulation electrodes.
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 …
The STEREO-DBS Study: 7-Tesla MRI Brain Network Analysis for Deep Brain Stimulation
Rationale: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the nucleus subthalamicus (STN) is an effective surgical treatment for the patients with advanced Parkinson's disease, despite optimal pharmacological treatment. However, individual improvement after DBS remains variable and 50% of patients show insufficient benefit. To date, DBS-electrode placement and settings in the highly connected …
Long-Term Behavioral and Cognitive Outcomes of Deep Brain Stimulation in Patients With Parkinson's Disease
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the long-term effect of DBS-STN on cognitive and behavioral outcomes in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. PD patients will be assessed over time using tests, questionnaires and standardized clinical scales. An initial assessment (T0) and annual follow-up assessments will be carried out …
