چکیده
Methods This pilot study is being conducted in two centers with a randomized, controlled study design using blinded and validated rater assessments and a sham procedure. The primary outcome variable is hand tremor and the Unified Parkinson’s disease rating scale in the medicated state at three months. Comprehensive cognitive assessments before and after the procedure are being conducted for additional safety. A total of thirty patients will be enrolled.

Effect of Parkinson's disease on vocal tremor
Vocal tremor is encountered in different neurological diseases and could be used for their characterisation. In this paper, vocal tremor features have been extracted for speakers with Parkinson’s disease and control speakers. It is shown that Parkinson’s disease has significant effects on vocal tremor features. For speakers with Parkinson’s disease, the average vocal frequency is higher and the...
متن کاملWireless accelerometer configuration for monitoring Parkinson’s disease hand tremor
Parkinson’s disease is neurodegenerative in nature and associated with characteristic movement disorders, such as hand tremor. Wireless accelerometer applications may advance the quality of care for Parkinson’s disease patients. The acceleration waveform of the respective hand tremor can be recorded and stored for postprocessing and progressive status tracking. A wireless accelerometer configur...
متن کاملC Akineto - rigid vs . tremor syndrom es in Parkinsonism
Current Opinion in Neurology 2009, 22:387–393 Purpose of review Akinesia, rigidity and low-frequency rest tremor are the three cardinal motor signs of Parkinson’s disease and some Parkinson’s disease animal models. However, cumulative evidence supports the view that akinesia/rigidity vs. tremor reflect different pathophysiological phenomena in the basal ganglia. Here, we review the recent physi...
متن کاملParkinson’s Disease: Modeling the Tremor and Optimizing the Treatment
Parkinson’s disease is a common neurological disorder, the main symptom of which is tremor. In this study, tremor is modelled using physiological information and clinical recordings. All blocks of the basal ganglia are considered exactly in this model and mathematical relations of each block are designed. Two main therapeutic approaches are implemented on the model. Finally, optimal dose and op...
متن کاملPharmacological treatment of Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder of unknown cause. Age is the most consistent risk factor and incidence in the general population over 75 years of age is 254:100 000. With an aging population the management of Parkinson’s disease is likely to prove an increasingly important and challenging aspect of medical practice. Classically Parkinson’s disease presents with resting tremo...
متن کاملKinematic Modeling in Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease is a slowly progressing neurological disorder that affects motor function, resulting in bradykinesia, resting tremor, rigidity, and postural instability. The symptoms are associated with a loss of dopaminergic neurons in the brain, and a loss of dopamine is considered the primary defect in Parkinson’s disease. Recently, models of Parkinson’s disease have been constructed, in...
