Abstract We report the 5 to 6 year follow‐up of a multicenter study bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) and globus pallidus internus (GPi) deep brain stimulation (DBS) in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Thirty‐five STN patients 16 GPi were assessed at years after DBS surgery. Primary outcome measure was effect on motor Unified Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) with prospective cross‐over double‐blind assessment without medications (stimulation randomly switched or off). Secondary...
Thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) is proven to suppress tremor in Parkinson's disease (PD) and essential (ET). However, there are few reports on its long-term efficacy. We studied the efficacy of DBS at 2 years 6-7 after electrode implantations ventrointermediate nucleus thalamus 39 patients (20 PD, 19 ET) with severe tremor. Twenty-five completed study. Evaluations were done a double-blind manner Unified Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Essential Tremor (ETRS). decreased sum scores PD (P <...
Abstract We evaluated the effects of different electrical parameter settings on intelligibility speech in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) bilaterally treated deep brain stimulation (DBS) subthalamic nucleus (STN). Ten DBS for 15 ± 5 months (mean, SD) significant ( P < 0.01) symptom reduction (Unified Disease Rating Scale III) were included. In medication off condition, video laryngostroboscopy was performed and then, random order, 11 tested. Amplitude increased decreased by 25%,...
By using the Internet in audiological rehabilitation process, it might be possible a cost-effective way to include additional components by informing and guiding hearing aid users about such topics as communication strategies, tactics, how handle aids.To evaluate effectiveness of an online education program for adult experienced including professional guidance audiologist compare with effects participation discussion forum without any contact.A randomized controlled study two groups...
To evaluate the effect of bilateral deep-brain stimulation (DBS) in subthalamic nucleus (STN) on balance performance patients with severe Parkinson's disease (PD), when tested without anti-parkinsonian medication.Thirty-one (median age 65 years, range 50-77) were included. Assessments made after 10-12 h withdrawal medication, before and 6 12 months surgery. Postoperative evaluations performed DBS off. Balance was evaluated Berg Scale (BBS). Motor symptoms postural stability (item 30)...
