Gamma knife thalamotomy for disabling tremor: a blinded evaluation.

TL;DR: Overall, it is found that GKT provided only modest antitremor efficacy and further prospective studies with careful neurologic evaluation of outcomes are necessary before GKT can be recommended for disabling tremor on a routine clinical basis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Shunt-responsive parkinsonism and reversible white matter lesions in patients with idiopathic NPH.

TL;DR: iNPH often appears as a shunt-responsive type of parkinsonism and reversible white matter lesions among the geriatric population, and these symptoms and signs improved significantly after the operation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Occurrence risk and structure of depression in Parkinson disease with and without dementia: results from the GEPAD Study.

TL;DR: Depression rates are already substantially elevated at early PD stages, emphasizing the need for a thorough examination of mood disorders in all patients with PD.
Journal ArticleDOI

An 8-Year Follow-up on the Effect of Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation on Pain in Parkinson Disease

Colonic inflammation in Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: Findings provide evidence that enteric inflammation occurs in Parkinson's disease and further reinforce the role of peripheral inflammation in the initiation and/or the progression of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of pedunculopontine nucleus area stimulation on gait disorders in Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: Although freezing of gait can be improved by low-frequency electrical stimulation of the pedunculopontine nucleus area in some patients with Parkinson's disease, the overall results are disappointing compared to the high levels of expectation raised by previous open label studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Clinically Important Difference on the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale

TL;DR: In this paper, a cross-sectional analysis of the CIDs for UPDRS total and motor scores was performed on patients with Parkinson disease (PD) using distribution-and anchor-based approaches based on the following external standards: disability (10% on the Schwab and England Activities of Daily Living Scale), disease stage (1 stage on the Hoehn and Yahr Scale), and quality of life (1 SD on the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey).
