Adaptive DBS - non technical article
There was a post to the technical paper in Nature Medicine a few weeks ago about an innovation to traditional
DBS
. Adaptive
DBS
involves putting in brain sensors to automatically increase or reduce the amount of stimulation.

brain pacemaker for pwp
The downside was a loss of balance which is not addressed by the
DBS
, unfortunately. So now I’d like more information about the pacemaker for Parkinson’s because I’m tired of falling over and breaking various bones.

apomorphine, anyone on this?
Also been offered
DBS
done all the tests and stuff but wanted to try apomorphine before
DBS
. the AbbVie levodopa pump is only available if you are not suitable for
DBS
due to it being a new expensive treatment. which i find surprising i would've thought
DBS
is the last option. thanks guys

Which DBS device to use?
I am planning to go through a
DBS
surgery in near future. I believe there are two brands supplying the devices - Boston Scientific - Medtronix Can someone refer me to some literature where two devices are compared for directional rechargeable type?

My DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) opinions and experiences
Last falI had been incredibly impressed by the moderator of the
DBS
Facebook page in his responses, and I thought If I can be as well-spoken as he is 25 years after I’ve had
DBS
like he is, so I decided to proceed with the surgery. The surgery did not go well.

Deep Brain Stimulation Therapy
I am seriously considering having
DBS
but am wondering if there are others who have successfully had this surgery to alleviate pain in the neck, shoulders, upper back & lower back. Please share any experiences with this as well as anything else you may have found that works. I am desperate.

DBS operation
I’ve been approved by Kaiser for a
DBS
(Deep Brain Stimulation) operation for my MS/essential tremors. Would like to talk to someone who’s had the same operation.

Meds not working well again
The neurologist is suggesting
dbs
and doesn't seem interested in working with the meds anymore. My husband doesn't want
dbs
, and I am trying to find out what do people do when meds don't work anymore? What else can be done that's not invasive? Thanks for any help 🙏

Carnivore Diet for Parkinson’s
I did
DBS
in 01/23 but take C/L extended release every 6 hours. I saw multiple YouTube videos and read 2 books about the diet. A few videos featured Mimi Morgan who completely reversed PD or Parkinsonism. https://youtu.be/Ty5l5ZF10qY?

mucana
Hi everyone My husband had
DBS
done a 1 1/2 years ago. Very successful for him , he doesn’t take any medication anymore but I found that he is slowing down. I saw that there has been studies on mucana supplements.

Very interesting video on controversial issues regarding managing Parkinson’s at different stages (from 2 guys that seem smart).
; (6) Should deep brain stimulation (
DBS
) be offered earlier in PD rather than later? If so, how early?

DBS surgery for Parkinson’s patient.
My neurologist is recommending that I have a
DBS
surgery to deal with my symptoms. He indicated that overtime medication is less effective and this is my best option. I’m hopeful that some who have had it will share their experience. For example, how long did the surgery take?

Noninvasive deep brain stimulation shows promise for Parkinson’s. Is it an advanced form of CUE1?
It functions as a noninvasive alternative for
DBS
to modulate the activity of specific brain nerve pathways. A built-in monitoring system lets doctors monitor the brain’s response to the stimuli, adjusting the neurostimulation as needed. Its a really impressive development!!
