Brain Pacemaker Fights Parkinson's
What is adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) and how does it work?
aDBS is a brain pacemaker technology that uses machine learning to monitor brain signals and adjust electrical stimulation in real-time. This closed-loop system provides personalized treatment for Parkinson's disease by dynamically responding to the patient's symptoms as they arise.
What are the clinical benefits of aDBS?
Clinical trials have shown that aDBS can reduce Parkinson's symptoms by approximately 50% compared to conventional deep brain stimulation. It offers more effective management of fluctuating symptoms and enhances patients' quality of life by providing real-time adjustments.
What challenges does aDBS face and what are the future directions?
The main challenges include the need for specialized clinicians for initial setup and adjustments, which limits accessibility. Future directions involve automating the adjustment process to make aDBS more widely available and easier to use, potentially allowing more patients to benefit from this technology.
