First seen Jan 02, 2026 · Last updated Jun 10, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study tested a new way to perform deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease. Instead of the standard awake surgery with micro-electrode recordings, the new method uses MRI-based targeting under general anesthesia. 128 patients were enrolled to see if the asleep technique works as well as the standard procedure in improving motor symptoms after one year.
