1.	Parkinson Disease (Parkinson's Disease) 08/04/2009 - "Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the basal ganglia motor circuitry is a highly effective treatment for the debilitating motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). " 04/15/2009 - "Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a widely used and highly effective treatment for patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). " 02/15/2009 - "Although bilateral subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN DBS) provides greater relief from the symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) than unilateral STN DBS, it has been suggested that unilateral STN DBS may be a reasonable treatment option in selected patients, especially those with highly asymmetric PD. " 09/01/2006 - "Deep brain stimulation (DBS) into the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a highly effective treatment for advanced Parkinson's disease (PD).

" 06/28/2005 - "Chronic deep brain stimulation (DBS) (Level C) and thalamotomy (Level C) are highly efficacious in reducing tremor. " 03/01/2001 - "CONCLUSION: Excellent to marked improvement of tremor is achieved in the majority of patients with physiological target determination via implanted leads in thalamic deep brain stimulation.

" 10/15/2007 - "Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus internus (GPi) is a highly effective treatment for idiopathic generalized dystonia, however less is known about the effect of GPi DBS on ICCD. " 06/01/2007 - "In recent years, deep brain stimulation (DBS) of globus pallidus internus (GPi) has emerged as an effective treatment for dystonia, particularly patients with primary generalized dystonia, where remarkable improvement may occur. " 11/01/2006 - "For example, generalized dystonia involving whole the body and resulting in bed-ridden state can be dramatically improved with stereotactic chronic deep brain stimulation of the globus pallidum interna.

4.	Movement Disorders (Movement Disorder) 01/01/2006 - "Functional neurosurgery has benefited from these technologies, as deep brain stimulation surgery has become the standard of care for most cases of movement disorder surgery. " 05/01/2004 - "Quantifying movement disorders is becoming crucially important in neurosurgery units to evaluate the efficacy of new therapeutic interventions such as deep brain stimulation. " 01/01/2009 - "OBJECTIVES: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is nowadays considered a safe and effective procedure for various movement disorders in which conservative treatments have failed to show significant therapeutic results. " 08/27/2008 - "Because deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the posterior subthalamic nucleus (STN), which modulates the sensorimotor BG network, is beneficial in movement disorders, stimulation of the anterior, limbic STN might improve intractable behavioral disorders.
