No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The intention of the study is to investigate whether Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) will improve postural deformities of patients with Parkinson's disease.

Conditions

  • Parkinson Disease
  • Spine Degeneration
  • Spine Deformity
  • Spinal Disease

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Deep Brain Stimulation

Deep brain stimulation involves implanting electrodes within certain areas of the brain. These electrodes produce electrical impulses that regulate abnormal impulses. Or the electrical impulses can affect certain cells and chemicals within the brain. The amount of stimulation in deep brain stimulation is controlled by a pacemaker-like device placed under the skin in the upper chest. A wire that travels under the skin connects this device to the electrodes in the brain.
