چکیده مقاله:

  Abstract   Background: To improve the debilitating features of Parkinson disease (PD) different   medical and surgical approaches are available. Subthalamic nucleus deep brain   stimulation (STN-DBS) was appeared to be a promising method during last two   decades. This study aimed to evaluate early motor outcomes of this procedure in first   trial of Iranian patients .   Methods: Thirty-seven consecutive patients with advanced Parkinson disease with   poor response to common medical agents underwent bilateral STN-DBS. For assessment of motor function parameters Unified Parkinson Disease Rating scale III (UPDRS III) was used. We compared total scores and subscores in three measurements performed as 1) preoperative off-medication, 2) preoperative on-medication and 3) six months postoperative on stimulation and on medication. Reduction in drug consumption was assessed with regard to administered doses of L-Dopa before and after surgery in stable states .   Results: 26 men and 10 women with mean age of 50 years were evaluated (one person   expired before 6-month follow-up). Mean total scores of UPDRSIII were calculated   as 5.2±54.52, 2.88±18.22 and 3±12.8 in three measurements, respectively (p=0.003 ).   PostHoc analyses showed significant improvement among all measurements. Analysis   of subscores also revealed significant amelioration in rigidity, resting tremor, hand   movement, leg agility, finger tap and rapid alternating movement in on-medication   phases of pre- and post-operation (all with p<0.01). The mean administered L-Dopa   were224±1296 mg/d and 174±782 mg/d before and after surgery, with significant decline   ( p<0.001) in administered L-dopa dose .   Conclusion: The results indicate that bilateral STN-DBS can lead to significant   short-term improvement of the motor symptoms especially in some debilitating symptoms such as rigidity and tremor in advanced PD. It also accompanies with remarkable reduction in needed doses of drugs. The findings support other studies with similar follow - up interval however, continuous evaluations are needed for long-lasting effects .

  Abstract   Introduction: It is demonstrated that the degree of clinical improvement in   Parkinson's disease (PD) achieved by deep brain stimulation (DBS) is largely dependent   on the accuracy of lead placement. In addition, individual variability in the   situation of subthalamic nucleus (STN) is responsible for spatial inter-individual   fluctuations of the real patient's target.   Objecti...

Background: The effect of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) on the voice features in Parkinson&rsquo;s disease (PD) is controversial. No study has evaluated the voice features of PD underwent STN-DBS by the acoustic, perceptual, and patient-based assessments comprehensively. Furthermore, there is no study to investigate prosodic features before and after DBS in PD. The curren...

Pallidal vs subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation in Parkinson disease.

BACKGROUND Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus interna (GPi) and subthalamic nucleus (STN) has been reported to relieve motor symptoms and levodopa-induced dyskinesia in patients with advanced Parkinson disease (PD). Although it has been suggested that stimulation of the STN may be superior to stimulation of the GPi, comparative trials are limited. OBJECTIVE To extend our rand...
