New DBS Brain Pacemaker Improves Movement for People with Parkinson's

UCSF researchers have conducted successful trials of an experimental adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) device that responds to a person with Parkinson’s symptoms in real time. Using data techniques and custom algorithms, the device picks up on brain signals that indicate a symptom is developing and delivers just the right amount of electrical stimulation to stop it. The research is a collaboration between UCSF’s Phil Starr, MD, PhD, and Simon Little, MBBS, PhD, in the UCSF Department of Neurology.
