Parkinson’s disease: Better overall behavioural outcomes with bilateral subthalamic stimulation plus medical therapy
Behavioural outcomes of subthalamic stimulation and medical therapy versus medical therapy alone for Parkinson's disease with early motor complications (EARLYSTIM trial): secondary analysis of an open-label randomised trial Lhommée E et al. In a large cohort with Parkinson's disease and early motor complications, better overall behavioural outcomes were noted with...
Foramen Ovale Closure after Stroke
Among adults who had had a cryptogenic ischemic stroke, closure of a PFO was associated with a lower rate of recurrent ischemic strokes than medical therapy alone during extended follow-up. (Funded by St. Jude Medical; RESPECT ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00465270.) Supported by St. Jude Medical. N Engl J Med 2017; 377:1022-1032September...
Efficacy of restorative brain–computer interfaces
Investigating the impact of feedback update interval on the efficacy of restorative brain–computer interfaces Royal Society open science. 4:170660. https://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rsos.170660 Restorative brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) have been proposed to enhance stroke rehabilitation. Restorative BCIs are able to close the sensorimotor loop by rewarding motor imagery (MI) with sensory feedback. Despite the...
Neurostimulation with Laryngeal Pacemaker Does Not Affect Vocal Quality
Although transoral laser surgical glottic enlargement is considered the gold-standard treatment for BVFP (bilateral vocal fold paralysis), respiratory function improvement often correlates with voice quality deterioration due to the irreversible and static modification of the vocal fold conformation. Selective neurostimulation could be a promising BVFP therapy based on the dynamic...
Neural Bypass Technology
Battelle NeuroLife™ Neural Bypass Technology Batelle Battelle has developed a breakthrough technology that empowers paralyzed patients to regain conscious control of their fingers, hand and wrist. The Battelle NeuroLife Neural Bypass Technology skips damaged areas of the nervous system to allow the brain to communicate directly with muscles. Med Device...
