Deep brain stimulation of the internal globus pallidus is a highly effective and established
therapy for primary generalized and cervical dystonia, but therapeutic success is …

Dystonia is a debilitating disease with few treatment options. One effective option is deep
brain stimulation (DBS) to the internal pallidum. While cervical and generalized forms of …

The few reported controlled studies show that bilateral stimulation of the globus pallidus
interna (GPi) is a safe and effective long-term treatment for hyperkinetic disorders. However …

Background Severe forms of primary dystonia are difficult to manage medically. We
assessed the safety and efficacy of pallidal neurostimulation in patients with primary …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Deep brain stimulation is a well-established treatment for
generalized dystonia, but outcomes remain variable. Establishment of an imaging marker to …

Background Neurostimulation of the internal globus pallidus has been shown to be effective
in reducing symptoms of primary dystonia. We compared this surgical treatment with sham …

Renewed interest in stereotaxy for dystonia followed the introduction of deep brain
stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson's disease and essential tremor in the 1990s. DBS evolved …

Object Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus internus (GPi) is a promising new
procedure for the treatment of dystonia. The authors present their technical approach for …

The aim of this review was to provide strong clinical evidence of the efficacy of deep brain
stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus internus (GPi) in isolated inherited or idiopathic …

Objective: High-frequency stimulation of the globus pallidus internus (GPi) is a highly
effective therapy in primary dystonia. Recent reports have also demonstrated almost …
