Several questions about debugging for patients after Parkinson’s disease surgery detailed

After Parkinson’s disease surgery patients often have many doubts about the existence of postoperative conditioning, I will answer the following questions about postoperative conditioning and its related issues: 1. When is the best time to turn on the computer after Parkinson’s disease surgery? According to my experience with surgery and commissioning and reports in the literature, one week to three weeks after surgery is fine. However, early conditioning is only to alleviate the original symptoms because there is still edema around the implanted electrodes and does not necessarily achieve the best therapeutic effect. Subsequent re-conditioning is likely to achieve the best results. 2.How often is it better to adjust the parameters after Parkinson’s disease surgery? Generally speaking, if there is no problem with the position of electrode embedding. It is fine to adjust the stimulation parameters once again three to six months after surgery. After one year, there is basically no need to adjust again. 3.What kind of symptoms can be improved after the surgery and what kind of symptoms cannot be improved? Brain pacemakers are most effective in improving motor symptoms, specifically tremor, rigidity and retardation. However, the pacemaker has limited or no effect on midline and non-motor symptoms, specifically speech, swallowing, rigidity and sleep. 4. Do I need to continue taking medication after surgery? The answer is yes. Although most of the symptoms are relieved after surgery, they are not completely gone after all. If you stop taking the medication, you may have a feeling of weakness. Of course, the dose of the drug can be adjusted, the specific how to adjust should refer to the doctor’s advice. 5.How often should I recharge my rechargeable batteries? If it is more convenient for you, I suggest you charge it every day, about 10-20 minutes at a time. Of course, there is no problem to recharge the battery at longer intervals. But you must pay attention to one point, never let the power completely depleted, this will affect the efficiency of the battery. 6. How long does the pacemaker battery last? How do I know it’s time to change the battery? Non-rechargeable batteries generally last about five years (depending on the amount of electricity used), and rechargeable batteries can last up to nine years. The time to replace non-rechargeable batteries depends on the measured voltage. Rechargeable batteries are recommended to be replaced when they are approaching nine years.
