Trajectory of Quality of Life in Advanced Parkinson's Patients Receiving Bilateral Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation
… (QOL) in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients after Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) neurosurgery generally improves between 3 to 24 months post-operatively. However, QOL beyond 2 year follow-up is generally unknown. This study examined the QOL in 16 advanced PD patients who received DBS at an average of …

Quantitative assessment of human gait patterns using biomechanical and dynamical tools
… of aging, PD, and the use of implanted bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation on persons with severe PD symptoms. Biomechanical analysis using kinetic and kinematic metrics were also performed to investigate the effects of novel equipment design on level walking and obstacle crossing …

Expectation, the placebo effect and Parkinson's disease : an investigation using high-resolution positron emission tomography
… cognition can influence the physiology of the brain and body. The expectation of therapeutic benefit elicited by a placebo given in the guise of active medication has been proposed to be a form of reward expectation, and is associated with activation of brain reward circuitry. Prominent placebo …
