First seen Mar 28, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tested whether spinal cord stimulation (SCS) can help Parkinson's patients who experience freezing of gait (sudden inability to walk) that doesn't improve with medication. Ten adults with Parkinson's received SCS to see if it safely reduces freezing episodes and improves quality of life. The goal was to find a new option for a symptom that current treatments often fail to address.
