Brain stimulation could treat anxiety in people with Parkinson’s, scientists say | Researchers aim to develop new techniques to relieve symptoms after finding ‘strong’ link to brain wave
Exclusive: Researchers aim to develop new techniques to relieve symptoms after finding ‘strong’ link to brain wave
Dr Lucia Ricciardi, a senior lecturer in neurology at City St George’s, University of London, and a co-lead author of the research, said: “Anxiety has been recognised as a major unmet therapeutic need in Parkinson’s disease, and our results now offer hope. Research teams at City St George’s and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) recruited 33 people with severe Parkinson’s who were having DBS surgery to tackle their physical symptoms. He added: “Parkinson’s is a complex disease, almost impossibly so, and advances in technology that allow sophisticated and intelligent control of the devices set to work on brain behaviour, gathering data, remote monitoring, fine-tuning medication, trends and pinch points could be life-changing.”
