PRINTABLE OR WHITE BACKGROUND VERSION OF THIS ARTICLE |
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is the most commonly performed and most
effective surgery for Parkinson's Disease but is unaffordable to a lot of
people. It involves the use of electrodes implanted into the brain connected
to an electrical device. For more information go to :
Deep Brain Stimulation
A novel wireless method of administering brain stimulation has been
introduced that requires no implants or external connections. By injecting
magnetic nanoparticles into the brain, neurons can be manipulated by
applying external magnetic fields. These particles are capable of deep
penetration of brain tissue and can stimulate nerve cells. For more
information go to :

People with Parkinson's Disease had DBS initiated at either 1 or 3
months after surgery. Safety and efficacy of the treatment were
compared between on and off medication states 3 months after
surgery. Outcome measures included analysis of Unified Parkinson's
Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) scores, duration of "on" periods, and
equivalent doses of L-dopa. Three months after surgery, there had
been a very significant decrease in the UPDRS (Parkinson's Disease)
motor scores. Bilateral wireless programming STN-DBS was found to be
safe and effective for people with Parkinson's Disease in whom
medical management had failed to restore motor function. |

Disease, which is fully referenced, and over 800 pages long, is
the most comprehensive book concerning Parkinson's Disease. It includes the history of Parkinson 's Disease, famous
people with Parkinson's Disease, the complete biochemisty of
Parkinson's Disease,
its cytology and cytological effects,
anatomy and anatomical effects, physiology and physiological
effects, symptoms of every system in the body, the diagnosis methods
(observational, technological, chemical), biochemical causes, all the toxic causes, all the genetic causes, all the
pharmacological causes, all the medical disorders that cause Parkinson's Disease
symptoms, its treatments (biochemical, pharmacological,
surgical, natural, exercise methods, technological methods),
including all those treatments that exist and all those treatments
presently being developed, Parkinson's Disease organisations,
Parkinson's Disease web sites, and books on Parkinson's Disease
nursing.
