Spinal stimulation offers hope for Parkinson's patients who freeze while walking
NCT ID NCT03526991
Summary
This study tested whether spinal cord stimulation could help Parkinson's patients who experience 'freezing of gait' - sudden episodes where they cannot move their feet forward while walking. The research involved 10 participants whose walking problems didn't improve with standard Parkinson's medications. Doctors implanted a spinal cord stimulator to see if electrical pulses could reduce freezing episodes and improve walking ability.
