Therefore, it is “enough” to intercept this abnormal signal. Several techniques have been successfully developed to “break the cycle” and stop tremors.
Deep brain stimulation, benchmark
Deep brain stimulation enjoys good retrospect. Invasive, it is better tolerated in young patients without comorbidities. This is the most expensive technique, but the only one that is reversible. “Evaluation of operability is performed using imaging to ensure there are no contraindications (brain atrophy, tumor obstructing electrode passage, etc.).”explain Dr: Marco Vincenzo Corniola, neurosurgeon and Sophie Drapier, head of the Center of Expertise in Parkinson’s at Rennes University Hospital.
