Brain zap breakthrough: new settings target Parkinson's freezing gait
NCT ID NCT04223427
Summary
This study tested whether adjusting the shape of electrical currents in deep brain stimulation could help Parkinson's patients with walking and balance problems. Researchers worked with 19 patients who already had brain implants to see if directing the stimulation more precisely could reduce freezing episodes and improve stability. The goal was to find better settings that might help patients walk more safely in daily life.
