Cognitive Decline Following Deep Brain Stimulation
This research study aims to identify MRI-based brain biomarkers that predict an individual's response to Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). In particular, this study will focus on changes in cognition associated with DBS. A total of 55 participants with Parkinson's Disease planning to undergo DBS will be recruited from MUSCs Clinical …
Deep Brain Stimulation for Refractory PTSD
Treatment refractory PTSD is a chronic and debilitating psychiatric disorder associated with high morbidity. Despite advances in neuroimaging, genetics, pharmacology and psychosocial interventions in the last half century, little progress has been made in altering the natural history of the condition or its outcome. This study would be the first …
Network Effects of Therapeutic Deep Brain Stimulation
The purpose of this study is to map the acute, short-term cortical evoked responses to thalamic electrical stimulation in persons with intractable epilepsy
Deep Brain Stimulation for Severe Anorexia Nervosa
The somatic complications as well as the suicidal risk make Anorexia Nervosa (AN) the psychiatric disease with the highest mortality rate: the standardized mortality ratio is higher than 4 and 1 in 5 patients with AN who dies has committed suicide. Approximately 20% of patients suffering from AN evolves into …
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 …
Deep Brain Stimulation Therapy in Movement Disorders
Background \- In deep brain stimulation (DBS), a device called a neurostimulator is placed in the chest. It is attached to wires in parts of the brain that affect movement. DBS might help people with movement disorders like Parkinson s disease (PD), dystonia, and essential tremor (ET). Objective \- To …
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 …
A Multicenter Pediatric Deep Brain Stimulation Registry
There is limited data on outcomes for children who have undergone deep brain stimulation (DBS) for movement disorders, and individual centers performing this surgery often lack sufficient cases to power research studies adequately. This study aims to develop a multicenter pediatric DBS registry that allows multiple sites to share clinical …
Deep Brain Stimulation for Obsessive-compulsive Disorder
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the treatment method of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients diagnosed with severe and treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). DBS will be administered into the brain area of the bed nucleus of stria terminalis (BNST). The main research questions are: Does active …
Safety and Efficacy of Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation
The aim of this study is to assess the safety and the potential efficacy of personalized Local Field Potential (LFP)-based adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation (aDBS), using the implantable pulse generator (IPG) of the "AlphaDBS" System, in Parkinson's Disease patients, chronically implanted in subthalamic nucleus (STN) for DBS.
