Although the short-term benefits of bilateral stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease have been well documented, the long-term outcomes of the ...

The globus pallidus interna and the subthalamic nucleus are accepted targets for this procedure. We compared 24-month outcomes for patients who had undergone bilateral stimulation of the globus ...

"The subthalamic nucleus is a key therapeutic target in Parkinson's disease," Wessel says. "Indeed, just like it was done for the patient sample in our study, implantation of stimulation ...

The discovery also allows them to show for the first time that the subthalamic nucleus, a structure ...

AJ has Parkinson’s disease and his otherwise debilitating tremors are completely eliminated once the stimulators placed in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) of his brain kick in. The obvious ...

Parkinson's patients who had bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation for 15 years or longer spent 75% less time with dyskinesia and 58.7% less time in the off state than pre-surgery ...

Researchers think they've figured out why Parkinson's disease causes a person's limbs to become so stiff that at times they can feel frozen in place. Using a robotic chair equipped with sensors, a ...

Stimulation of subthalamic nucleus interrupts a cycle of runaway beta-frequency rhythms and restores ability of interneurons to regulate rhythms in the brain's striatum, improving movement ...

Early problems in the subthalamic nucleus contribute to Huntington's disease symptoms, and may impair the processing capacity and health of other brain structures. Huntington's disease is ...
