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 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.

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 ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) involves stimulating certain parts of your brain with implanted electrodes. It’s a promising treatment for treatment-resistant OCD. The main treatments for OCD are talk ...

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 ...
