DBS for Parkinson’s disease

An electrode similar in size to an acupuncture needle, buried in the patient’s brain by the doctor, after stimulating specific “acupuncture points” in the brain, can solve the Parkinson’s patient’s hand shaking can not hold things, leg shaking can not walk, and also allow patients to reduce half of the drug. This miraculous electrode treatment is Parkinson’s disease, which has become one of the common diseases of the nervous system in the middle-aged and elderly, typically manifested by tremors in the limbs, muscle stiffness and general slowing of movement. The “pacemaker” treatment can relieve all the main symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, or even completely relieve some of them. Compared to nucleus pulposus, another surgical procedure for Parkinson’s disease, the pacemaker can be adjusted in terms of stimulation location and parameters to achieve optimal results, although the pacemaker is also designed to improve symptoms by suppressing overactive nerve cell populations in the brain. The optimal therapeutic effect can be achieved by adjusting the stimulation position and stimulation parameters, which can be further adjusted as the patient’s condition changes. Moreover, the stimulation effect of the pacemaker is reversible and stops when the stimulation power is turned off. In addition, the pacemaker does not cause permanent damage to brain tissue and is safer than destructive surgery. In addition to its effectiveness in addressing the symptoms of Parkinson’s patients, deep brain electrical stimulation (DBS) therapy is increasingly being used to treat many neurological disorders, such as trigeminal neuralgia and epilepsy.
