DBS
I thought I’d let you know and share my journey with my husband who had the
DBS
surgery 6 weeks ago. 2 days ago the battery was turned on and will be adjusted weekly in the next 3 weeks until the right intensity is reached.

Approved: FDA Expands Exablate Neuro’s Use as Motor Symptom Treatment in Parkinson’s disease (focused ultrasound)
Most importantly, Exablate Neuro requires no surgical incisions, anesthesia, or brain implants, as in the case of deep brain stimulation (
DBS
), so it is expected to carry a lower risk for infections.
DBS
is a surgical procedure that eases motor symptoms.

Research shows promising results for Parkinson's disease treatment;

DBS
protocol that uses short bursts of electrical stimulation. "This is a big advance over other existing treatments," Gittis said. "In other

Trial treatment using deep brain stimulation provides hope for patients with severe anorexia nervosa
Interesting how this technology is being used in so many disorders other than PD. This might develop the technology more and make it more effective and affordable. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-12-30/qld-anorexia-nervosa-trial-treatment-deep-brain-stimulation/100725286

Focused ultrasound
I hear so much about PD patients receiving

, but I never hear about them opting for focussed ultrasound instead.

Sharing DBS Journey
Luckily we live in Canada where
DBS
is covered by the government, and in Toronto where they have one of the best neurology focused hospitals in the country (Toronto Western Hospital).
