The Parkinson’s Brain Pacemaker Surgical Headgear is used to immobilize the head, making it easier for the surgeon to accurately position the electrodes to be inserted, and to better accomplish the surgery.
Parkinson’s disease is a disease characterized by extrapyramidal symptoms due to damage to the basal ganglia nuclei. Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease that progresses gradually and worsens, and there is no good cure.
Generally, if conservative medical treatment fails in the later stages and the patient can tolerate surgery, pacemaker implantation can be considered. One of the steps is to install a stereotactic headgear, i.e. Parkinson’s headgear, to assist with positioning.
While the head frame is being fitted, a tightening sensation in the head may be felt, but it will not be long lasting. The patient only needs to actively cooperate with the professional physician’s treatment.
Parkinson’s patients should consult their doctors in time, and choose the appropriate treatment under the guidance of their doctors.
