Glucose Consumption During Deep Brain Stimulation With Functional [18F]FDG-Brain-PET in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
The purpose of this randomized, sham-controlled study is to evaluate the effectiveness of DBS therapy in individuals suffering from severe OCD and to investigate DBS treatment with functional [18F]FDG-Brain-PET.
REducing SPEECH-related Side-effects of Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease Via Automated Speech Analysis
The investigators' objective is to improve L-dopa sensitive PD-related dysarthria and at the same time reduce DBS-induced speech disorders with the help of automated acoustic analysis in patients with STN-DBS-induced dysarthria.
Efficacy and Influencing Factors of ALIC-NAc Deep Brain Stimulation in Treatment-Refractory Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and influencing factors of the combination of the anterior limb of internal capsule and nucleus accumbens (ALIC-NAc) deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients with treatment-refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The main questions it aims to answer is: Does the timing …
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, …
Cortical Network Modulation by Subthalamic Nucleus DBS
Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN DBS) in Parkinson's disease (PD) can provide substantial motor benefit yet can also produce unwanted mood and cognitive side effects. Although the neural mechanisms underlying benefits and side effects are not well understood, current hypotheses center on the potentially measurable yet currently …
Impact of Frequency-specific Subthalamic Nucleus Subregion Stimulation on Inhibitory Control in Parkinson's Disease
The core symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) include both motor and non-motor symptoms. Cognitive impairment is one of the most common non-motor symptoms in PD patients, with approximately 30% of patients exhibiting cognitive dysfunction at diagnosis and up to 80% eventually progressing to dementia. Among these, impairment of inhibitory control …
Differences in Brain Network Mechanisms Between STN and GPi Deep Brain Stimulation in the Treatment of Craniocervical Dystonia
Craniocervical dystonia, characterized by symptoms distributed in the craniofacial and/or cervical regions, is a type of focal or segmental dystonia and is the most common form of dystonia in adults. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a significant therapeutic approach for medically refractory craniocervical dystonia. The commonly utilized DBS targets are …
Sleep-specific DBS Therapy in Parkinson's Disease
Sleep-wake disturbances are a major factor associated with reduced quality of life of individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD), a progressive neurological disorder affecting millions of people in the U.S and worldwide. The brain mechanisms underlying these sleep disorders, and the effects of therapeutic interventions such as deep brain stimulation on …
Modulation of Hippocampal Circuitry and Memory Function With Focused Ultrasound in Amnestic MCI
This study is a proof of concept/proof of mechanism study addressing the hypothesis that Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound Pulsation (LIFUP) targeting the entorhinal cortex can (A) successfully target and increase activity in the entorhinal cortex and functionally connected brain regions (B) improve connectivity of memory networks (C) improve memory for …
Evaluating Modulation Effects of Temporal Interference Using SEEG
This single-center prospective study aims to investigate the electrophysiological mechanisms of temporal interference (TI) in humans by analyzing clinical, imaging, and electrophysiological data from patients aged 14-60 with drug-resistant epilepsy.
