Deep brain stimulation for essential tremor: a systematic review.

Movement disorders : official journal of the Movement Disorder Society

Flora ED, Perera CL, Cameron AL, Maddern GJ.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical treatment, which has proven useful in treating Parkinson's disease. This systematic review assessed the safety and effectiveness of DBS for another movement disorder, essential tremor. All studies concerning the use of DBS...

Nonpharmacological approaches: diet and neurostimulation.

Handbook of clinical neurology

Kossoff EH.
PMID: 23622228
Handb Clin Neurol. 2013;111:803-8. doi: 10.1016/B978-0-444-52891-9.00083-X.

There are many children with intractable epilepsy who do not respond to anticonvulsant medications yet are not candidates for resective epilepsy surgery. For these children and more, nonpharmacologic therapies can be very helpful. The primary therapies include diet and...

Connectivity of the pedunculopontine nucleus in parkinsonian freezing of gait.

Neuroreport

Schweder PM, Hansen PC, Green AL, Quaghebeur G, Stein J, Aziz TZ.
PMID: 20729769
Neuroreport. 2010 Oct 06;21(14):914-6. doi: 10.1097/WNR.0b013e32833ce5f1.

Parkinson's disease (PD) may involve sudden unintended arrests in gait or failure to initiate gait, known as gait freezing. Deep brain stimulation of the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) has been found to be an effective therapy for this phenomenon. In...

Invasive Neuromodulation for the Treatment of Pediatric Epilepsy.

Neurotherapeutics : the journal of the American Society for Experimental NeuroTherapeutics

Hachem LD, Yan H, Ibrahim GM.
PMID: 30378003
Neurotherapeutics. 2019 Jan;16(1):128-133. doi: 10.1007/s13311-018-00685-1.

Neuromodulatory strategies are increasingly adopted for the treatment of intractable epilepsy in children. These encompass a wide range of treatments aimed at externally stimulating neural circuitry in order to decrease seizure frequency. In the current review, the authors discuss...

Frameless Functional Stereotactic Approaches.

Progress in neurological surgery

Palys V, Holloway KL.
PMID: 29332082
Prog Neurol Surg. 2018;33:168-186. doi: 10.1159/000481102. Epub 2018 Jan 12.

The stereotactic frame has served as the gold standard apparatus for accurate and precise targeting of deep brain structures since 1947. Despite passing the test of time, the stereotactic frame has several limitations from the perspective of both neurosurgeons...

Focus on desynchronization rather than excitability: a new strategy for intraencephalic electrical stimulation.

Epilepsy & behavior : E&B

Medeiros Dde C, Moraes MF.
PMID: 24472684
Epilepsy Behav. 2014 Sep;38:32-6. doi: 10.1016/j.yebeh.2013.12.034. Epub 2014 Jan 26.

Epilepsy is a severely debilitating brain disease, often associated with premature death, which has an urgent need for alternative methods of treatment. In fact, roughly 25% of patients with epilepsy do not have seizures satisfactorily controlled by pharmacological treatment,...

Handb Clin Neurol. 2013;116:155-66. doi: 10.1016/B978-0-444-53497-2.00013-9.

Essential tremor is the most common tremor disorder and is characterized by a postural and kinetic tremor. Most commonly, the disease involves the upper extremities, although other body parts may be affected. Essential tremor is seen most often in...

Intracranial stimulation therapy for epilepsy.

Neurotherapeutics : the journal of the American Society for Experimental NeuroTherapeutics

Skarpaas TL, Morrell MJ.
PMID: 19332315
Neurotherapeutics. 2009 Apr;6(2):238-43. doi: 10.1016/j.nurt.2009.01.022.

Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder effecting 1 to 2% of the population. Despite advances in anti-epileptic drug therapy, epilepsy surgery, and vagus nerve stimulation, approximately 30% of patients continue to have seizures. Intracranial stimulation is currently under...
