Definitions
Chronic electrical stimulation also called deep brain stimulation (DBS) of specific nuclei in the basal ganglia is currently used to treat patients with movement disorders related to Parkinson’s disease (PD). This entry reviews the clinical uses of, and mechanisms of, DBS to treat symptoms developed by patients with PD. The hope is that computational studies will lead to the development of better stimulation protocols which have better efficacy and involve DBS closed-loop stimulators external batteries.
Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD), the second most common neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system after Alzheimer’s disease, affects more than six million people in the world and 1.2 million in Europe. This represents about 1 % of the global population over 50 years of age and...
