1. Att leva med Parkinsons sjukdom : med fokus på konsekvenser i dagligt liv för kvinnor och män
Sammanfattning : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common, progressive neurodegenerative disorder. It is characterized by motor symptoms, such as stiff muscles, slowness of movements, tremor, gait and balance difficulties, and also by non-motor symptoms such as depression, sleeping disorders, fatigue, sexual dysfunction, cognitive decline and pain.

2. Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's disease and essential tremor Outcome and experiences from patients' and spouses' perspectives
Sammanfattning : The treatment related effects and personalized goal fulfilment of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) have been assessed in studies with different designs. The brain targets included the thalamus for medically intractable tremor in Parkinson's disease (PD) or essential tremor (ET) and the subthalamicus for reducing hypo-, bradykinesia, tremor, rigidity and dystonia in PD.

3. Deep brain stimulation targeting the caudal zona incerta as a treatment for parkinsonian and essential tremor
Sammanfattning : Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is used as a treatment for Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Essential tremor (ET) when medications are insufficient. The most common DBS-targets for PD and ET, the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and the ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus (Vim) respectively, have certain side effects and limitations. LÄS MER
4. Swallowing function in patients with Parkinson’s disease and Deep Brain Stimulation
Sammanfattning : BackgroundParkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases in Europe. Besides motor dysfunction, PD is characterized by several non-motor and secondary motor features, such as weight change, sialorrhea, constipation and swallowing problems. LÄS MER
5. Cognitive effects of deep brain stimulation : focus on caudal zona incerta for essential tremor and Parkinson´s disease, and on bed nucleus of stria terminalis for obsessive compulsive disorder
Sammanfattning : Preserved cognition is an important determinant for perceived Quality of Life (QoL) and has been found to be essential in order to translate improvements in primary symptoms following Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) into activities of daily living that drive QoL. Therefore, it is important to evaluate not only the clinical improvement, but also the cognitive impact of DBS. LÄS MER
