Brain modulation after exergaming training in advanced forms of Parkinson's disease: a randomized controlled study.

J Neuroeng Rehabil

August 2024

Institut du Cerveau - Paris Brain Institute - ICM, Sorbonne Université, Inserm, CNRS, 47 bd de l'Hôpital, 75013, Paris, France.

Background: Physical activity combined with virtual reality and exergaming has emerged as a new technique to improve engagement and provide clinical benefit for gait and balance disorders in people with Parkinson's disease (PD).

Objective: To investigate the effects of a training protocol using a home-based exergaming system on brain volume and resting-state functional connectivity (rs-FC) in persons with PD.

Methods: A single blind randomized controlled trial was conducted in people with PD with gait and/or balance disorders.

Cerebellar Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation in Essential Tremor Patients with Thalamic Stimulation: A Proof-of-Concept Study.

Neurotherapeutics

July 2023

Institut du Cerveau - Paris Brain Institute - ICM, Inserm, CNRS, Sorbonne Université, 47 Bd de L'Hôpital, 75013, Paris, France.

Essential tremor (ET) is a disabling condition resulting from a dysfunction of cerebello-thalamo-cortical circuitry. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) or lesion of the ventral-intermediate thalamic nucleus (VIM) is an effective treatment for severe ET. Transcranial cerebellar brain stimulation has recently emerged as a non-invasive potential therapeutic option.

Axial symptoms predict mortality in patients with Parkinson disease and subthalamic stimulation.

Neurology

May 2019

From INSERM 1127 (B.L., N.M., Y.A., M.V., C.K., M.-L.W.), Sorbonne Universités, Université Pierre et Marie Curie-Paris Université Paris 06 6, Unité Mixte de Recherche (UMR) S1127, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), UMR 7225, Institut du Cerveau et de la Moelle Epinière, Paris, France; Department of Neurology (N.M., M.S.), Hôpital Universitaire de Bern, Switzerland; Clinical Investigation Centre (N.M., G.S.), Department of Neurology (V.C., D.G., M.V.), and Department of Neurosurgery (S.N., P.C., C.K.), Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris; and Department of Neurophysiology (M.-L.W.), CHU Charles Nicolle, Rouen University, France.

Objective: To characterize how disease progression is associated with mortality in a large cohort of patients with Parkinson disease (PD) with long-term follow-up after subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS).

Methods: Motor and cognitive disabilities were assessed before and 1, 2, 5, and 10 years after STN-DBS in 143 consecutive patients with PD. We measured motor symptoms "off" and "on" levodopa and STN-DBS and recorded causes of death.

The feasibility and positive effects of a customised videogame rehabilitation programme for freezing of gait and falls in Parkinson's disease patients: a pilot study.

J Neuroeng Rehabil

April 2018

CNRS, UMR7225, Institut du Cerveau et de la Moelle Epinière, Sorbonne universités, Université Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC) Paris P6; UMRS 1127, 75013, Paris, France.

Background: Freezing of gait and falls represent a major burden in patients with advanced forms of Parkinson's disease (PD). These axial motor signs are not fully alleviated by drug treatment or deep-brain stimulation. Recently, virtual reality has emerged as a rehabilitation option for these patients.
