BRAIN Initiative Research Leads to FDA Approval of Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson’s Disease
NIH BRAIN Initiative-funded research is key to FDA approval of personalized DBS for Parkinson’s
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been used for decades to treat Parkinson’s disease in people who no longer benefit from medications meant to restore levels of the brain chemical dopamine that drives this condition. And although DBS has helped people living with the uncontrollable body movements typical of Parkinson’s, many people have limited benefit and experience side effects.
