During the last decade surgical therapy of Parkinson's disease has been considerably revalued and electrical stimulation techniques have taken the place of neurolesive techniques. Surgical therapy objective is not a direct solution of the illness cause but to control the symptoms responsible for serious daily life limitations.

Abstract
During the last decade surgical therapy of Parkinson's disease has been considerably revalued and electrical stimulation techniques have taken the place of neurolesive techniques. Surgical therapy objective is not a direct solution of the illness cause but to control the symptoms responsible for serious daily life limitations. Electrical stimulation techniques actually used in PD are Deep Brain Stimulation [1] and Motor Cortex Stimulation [2] Advantages of such techniques in comparison with neurolesive techniques are reversibility and adaptability.File in questo prodotto:
