AI-Powered Treatment Revolutionizes Parkinson's Therapy: A New Hope with Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation
For the millions of individuals diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, a new AI-enhanced treatment offers a gleam of hope. Adaptive deep brain stimulation (DBS), as reported by the Washington Post, has significantly reduced symptoms for patients like Keith Krehbiel and James McElroy. This innovative approach has not only improved their motor functions but also allowed them to minimize dependency on medications, reducing adverse side effects.
Parkinson’s disease, affecting millions globally and thousands in Thailand, presents challenges that extend beyond the motor symptoms recognizable to the public. Medications, the traditional treatment method, often accompany severe side effects, including nausea, hallucinations, and erratic movements. At its core, Parkinson’s stems from neurons that engage in abnormal synchronized firing patterns known as oscillopathy, disrupting normal brain functions.
