In Britain made a brain implant to fight Parkinson’s disease

The experiment took place at Southmead Hospital in Bristol. The implanted device is designed for deep brain stimulation.

British scientists have developed a small brain device that helped a patient with Parkinson’s disease eliminate their symptoms. He became the first person to receive treatment during a one -year trial, the Daily Mail wrote.

The machine works by delivering electrical impulses to damaged parts of the brain, and since there is no cure for Parkinson’s disease, this treatment could be revolutionary.

“You don’t realize how serious (Parkinson’s disease) is until it happens to you. Just tying your shoelaces is a big operation … it has a huge impact on your daily life, “said the authors of the study.

It has been noted that most people develop symptoms by the age of 50, but approximately one in 20 patients experience it when they are under 40 years old. The new system, called DBS, includes a small battery system for a device implanted in the skull. It then delivers electrical impulses to target areas of the brain.

Right now, DBS surgery currently involves implanting a relatively large pacemaker-like battery connected to wires that run under the skin to the brain.

The operation takes three hours. That is, twice less than before.

Remember that one of the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease is seborrheic dermatitis.
