Deep brain stimulation in dystonia: factors contributing to variability in outcome in short and …

The origin of asymmetric clinical manifestation of symptoms in patients suffering from
cervical dystonia (CD) is hitherto poorly understood. Dysregulated neuronal activity in the …

Cervical dystonia is a neurological movement disorder characterized by involuntary,
abnormal movements of the head and neck. Injecting the overactive muscles with botulinum …

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

Objectives: The globus pallidus internus (GPi) has been the primary target for deep brain
stimulation (DBS) to treat severe medication-refractory dystonia. Some patients with primary …

Objective: To report long-term safety and efficacy outcomes of a large cohort of patients with
medically refractory isolated dystonia treated with subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain …

Objective To use a meta-analysis on all reported cases of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for
dystonia to determine which factors significantly influence outcome. The Burke-Fahn …

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 Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established treatment for dystonia and
tremor. However, there is no consensus about the best surgical targeting strategy in patients …

Background Severe forms of primary dystonia are difficult to manage medically. We
