Parkinsonism: electromyographic studies of monosynaptic reflex.

Electromyographic studies of the monosynaptic reflex in 70 Parkinsonian patients and 12 normal subjects show four types of abnormal facilitation and recovery curves in the Parkinsonian group, types that correspond to variations in the clinical syndrome; Cryosurgical lesions in the, ventro-lateral and ventro-postero-lateral nuclei of the thalamus restore essentially normal curves.

Safety and efficacy of chronic stimulation.

It is our conclusion that chronic cerebellar stimulation is both efficacious and safe as a therapeutic measure for selected neurological disease. Improvements in patient selection, with patients chosen who are not as incapacitated as those of our first group, showed make this even more apparent. In order to be certain that calibration of the present stimulating equipment is accurate, each such apparatus should be calibrated by the group treating the patient. We no make this a routine aspect of our follow-up re-examinations.

Safety and efficacy of chronic cerebellar stimulation.

It is our conclusion that CCS is both efficacious and safe as a therapeutic measure for neurologic disease. As indications become more concise and patients can be chosen who are not as incapacitated as those in our first group, this should become even more apparent. In order to be certain that calibration of the stimulating equipment is accurate each apparatus should be calibrated by the group treating the patient. We are now making this a routine aspect of our follow-up recheck examinations.
