Manufacturing brain modulators for people with Parkinson's

ANSA firm on December 2 reported that Italian scientists have created a new 'smart' brain nerve modulator to help people with Parkinson's disease.

Brain nerve modulators are devices that are implanted through surgery and this device will create electrical impulses that stimulate areas in the brain that control human movement.

This treatment, called deep brain stimulation (DBS) , helps to block abnormal neurological signals that will cause symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease, such as tremor, muscle stiffness and movement. slow motion.

The new device is a product of researchers at the University of Milan and is considered a breakthrough because it helps monitor the patient's neurological activity to determine exactly where electrical impulses are needed at Brain.

Experts say this device will significantly increase the patient's ability in everyday tasks.

Patients who already have traditional brain nerve modulators will still be able to apply the new technology, which has been patented in the US and Europe. This new technology will be combined with existing DBS systems where Parkinson patients are being applied.
