Motor function without medication (measured by the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale) improved from a mean of 42.8 to 21.1 at year 1 (51%) and 27.6 at year 5 (36%). HealthDay News — Subthalamic ...

(A) Experimental design. (B) Behavior assessments using open field tests. Heatmaps illustrate time spent (red) and movement trajectories (green). The PD group exhibited decreased movement speed ...

Personalized, adaptive deep brain stimulation (DBS) can enhance the control of motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) compared with standard DBS, new research suggests. In a blinded randomized ...

A new study led by Bucknell University Professor Karlo Malaga, biomedical engineering, has identified key insights into optimizing deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease patients.

Novel magnetic nanodiscs could provide a much less invasive way of stimulating parts of the brain, paving the way for stimulation therapies without implants or genetic modification, researchers report ...
