Bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) is an effective treatment in advanced Parkinson’s Disease (PD). However, the effects of STN-DBS on freezing gait (FOG) are still debated, particularly long-term follow-up (≥5-years). The main aim current study to evaluate FOG. Twenty treated PD patients were included. Each patient was assessed before surgery through a detailed neurological evaluation, including FOG score, and revaluated (median follow-up: 5-years) different drug...
Abstract Objective To evaluate correlations between speech and gait parameters in the long term under different medication subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN‐DBS) conditions a cohort of advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Methods This observational study included consecutive PD patients treated with bilateral STN‐DBS. Axial symptoms were evaluated using standardized clinical‐instrumental approach. Speech assessed by perceptual acoustic analyses instrumented Timed Up Go...

Objectives: To evaluate the possible long-term cerebral deposition of amyloid-β in PD patients treated with subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) and its influence on axial cognitive variables. Methods: Consecutive bilateral STN-DBS a follow-up were included. Amyloid-β was evaluated postoperatively through 18F-flutemetamol positron emission tomography (PET) study. Axial symptoms have been assessed using standardized clinical-instrumental approach. Speech by perceptual acoustic...
