... therapeutic option is deep brain stimulation (DBS), and the target in bilateral globus pallidus internus (GPi DBS) demonstrated satisfactory short- and long-term efficacy. However, some patients present minor or suboptimal responses after GPi DBS, and in those cases, rescue DBS may be appropriate. The present...

...James W. Leiphart; Zhixing Ye; Michaela Lee; Murray H. Loew Background: Brain stimulation is utilized to treat a variety of neurological disorders. Clinical brain stimulation technologies currently utilize charge-balanced pulse stimulation. The brain may better respond to other stimulation...

Method: A 24-year-old patient had medically...

...Luciano M. Modesti; Michael Waszak The effect of dorsal column stimulation (DCS) on single cell activity of the thalamus was analyzed in a patient who underwent stereotaxic thalamotomy following implantation of a dorsal column stimulator. Nine thalamic units were monitored long enough...

...Richard B. North; Tim A. Fischell; Donlin M. Long 31 patients suffering from intractable pain associated with chronic low back syndrome, terminal cancer, and other disorders have been studied after an average 6 months’ treatment by electrical stimulation of the spinal cord applied via electrodes...

...O.J. Andy Medial thalamus stimulation was used to treat chronic intractable pain associated with dyskinesia. Relief from both the pain and the motor disorder occurred concomitantly. However, maximum pain reduction was attained at a relatively faster rate than maximum reduction from the motor...

.... The pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) is one such area of interest. We have found that lesioning and electrical stimulation at high frequencies of the PPN region in the normal behaving primate induces akinesia, and low frequency stimulation can induce tremor. Micro-injections of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor...
