Abstract Neurofeedback through visual, auditory, or tactile sensations improves cognitive functions and alters the activities of daily living. However, some people, such as children elderly, have difficulty concentrating on neurofeedback for a long time. Constant stressless time may be achieved with auditory using music. The primary purpose this study was to clarify whether music-based increases power alpha wave in healthy subjects. During neurofeedback, white noise superimposed classical...
Hearing impairment is an important complication of microvascular decompression (MVD). In patients after MVD, we have occasionally noted slight to moderate hearing deterioration at low frequencies that difficult detect using pure tone average.To assess the incidence and features low-frequency (LF-HI) MVD evaluate its associated factors.This single-center, retrospective observational study assessed audiometric outcome 270 who underwent between January 2015 December 2020. Preoperative...
Abstract Background A previous Phase II clinical trial, conducted from 1995 to 2003, evaluated CNS germ cell tumors (GCTs) using a three-group treatment stratification based on histopathology. The primary objective of the study was assess long-term efficacy standardized regimens, while secondary focused identifying associated complications. Methods Total 228 patients were classified into three groups for treatment: germinoma (n=161), intermediate prognosis (n=38), and poor (n=28), excluding...
The lifetime prevalence of low back pain is 83%. Since there a lack evidence for therapeutic effect by cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or physical (PT), it necessary to develop objective physiological indexes and effective treatments. We conducted prospective longitudinal study evaluate the treatment effects CBT, PT, neurofeedback training (NFT) during alpha wave NFT. early-chronic cases within 1 year late-chronic over after diagnosis chronic were classified into six groups: Controls,...
Abstract Removal of the mesial temporal lobe (MTL) is an established surgical procedure that leads to seizure freedom in patients with intractable MTL epilepsy; however, it carries potential risk memory damage. Neurofeedback (NF), which regulates brain function by converting activity into perceptible information and providing feedback, has attracted considerable attention recent years for its as a novel complementary treatment many neurological disorders. However, no research attempted...
Cisternography using heavy T2-weighted images from 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)and three-dimensional time-of-flight MR angiography(3D TOF MRA)is useful for identifying conflicting vessels in primary hemifacial spasm(HFS). provides high-signal of the cerebrospinal fluid and low-signal cranial nerves cerebral blood vessels, whereas 3D MRA with only vascular information. The combination these two methods increases identification rate vessels. neurovascular conflict(NVC)site HFS is...
A 51-year-old man with a history of cisplatin treatment for right testicular tumor underwent microvascular decompression hemifacial spasm. At an early stage in the surgical procedure, intraoperative auditory brainstem response (ABR) was diminished despite relatively minimally invasive approach, resulting irreversible hearing loss. Cisplatin is known to cause dose-dependent impairment primarily affecting cochlea, but it can also induce neurotoxicity. In present case, prior administration may...
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a peripheral neuropathy caused by immune-mediated demyelination, causing tremors in 3.9%-58% of affected patients. This neuropathic tremor may persist after treatment and known to be refractory conventional medication. We present two cases due CIDP which deep brain stimulation (DBS) over long-term period led marked improvement. Case 1: A 66-year-old woman presented with severe 2-3-Hz resting, postural, kinetic both hands. The was...
Abstract BACKGROUND This detailed examination merges outcomes from a Phase II clinical trial targeting central nervous system (CNS) germ cell tumors (GCTs) conducted between 1995 and 2003. It evaluates the impact of histopathologically driven treatment modalities on survival, recurrence, post-treatment life social outcomes, aiming to delineate long-term effects such stratified approaches. METHODS The cohort comprised 228 patients, into three groups based histology: germinoma (n=161),...

To improve the safety of aneurysmal clipping as well to develop neurosurgical skills residents simultaneously, we present technical details and setting adopted in our institution. Between 2006 2011, experienced 379 surgeries (209 ruptured, 170 unruptured) at Fuji Brain Institute Hospital. With daily thorough in-vitro microsurgical training, performed standard-sized craniotomies with open fissures such sylvian fissure or interhemispheric fissure, obtain a safe wide surgical field for...
Abstract BACKGROUND Phase II clinical trial funded by Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare from 1995 to 2003 evaluated efficacy pathology-based three-group treatment stratification for CNS germ cell tumors (GCTs). We here present long-term follow-up results. METHODS Total 228 cases were registered. Germinoma was treated with carboplatin+etoposide (CARE) extended-local irradiation, local irradiation added intermediate-prognosis-group, poor-prognosis-group ifosfamide+cisplatin+etoposide...
This article describes the anatomical approach and operative points of microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm based on author's personal experience with 1,000 cases. As vascular compression facial nerve is often quite caudal, it necessary to ensure that compressing arteries in this area are moved. Neither vessels nor prosthesis used move them should not touch root exit zone nerve(vascular transposition isolation technique). It also be emphasized every effort made avoid...
We report an 18-year-old female patient who developed left temporal headache and fever one month after administration of isotretinoin for acne. Imaging studies demonstrated osteolytic change in the frontal bone, lesion showed gadolinium contrast enhancement. Biopsy confirmed diagnosis osteomyelitis, symptoms improved 8 months medication with antibiotics nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). However, pain recurred when was resumed. Isotretinoin sometimes causes excessive...
