Imported Pacemaker Parkinson Surgery

Brain pacemaker, also known as deep brain stimulation (DBS), implants electrodes in specific neural nuclei in the brain, releasing high-frequency electrical stimulation, inhibiting these neurons that are over-excited due to reduced dopaminergic neurons. Electrical impulses reduce their state of excessive excitement, thereby reducing the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Treatment alleviates the three main symptoms of Parkinson's disease: tremor, stiffness, and bradykinesia, and especially improves midline symptoms, such as difficulty starting and turning over. A brain pacemaker is a small and compact microelectronic device that includes a pulse generator, an electrode, and an extension lead, all of which are implanted in the body. Implanted components do not affect patients' daily lives
