Personalized neurology has reached a milestone in late 2025 with the widespread adoption of adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation (aDBS) for movement disorders. Unlike traditional DBS, which delivers a constant stream of electricity to the brain, aDBS monitors brain activity for the specific "beta wave" patterns associated with Parkinson's symptoms like tremors or rigidity. The device then scales the...
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a highly sophisticated, surgically implanted technology primarily used to treat the symptoms of movement disorders like Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia. The system involves implanting thin electrodes into specific, deep brain structures—such as the thalamus or subthalamic nucleus—which are then connected to a pulse...
Neurostimulation is also utilized extensively in the field of urology and pelvic health, primarily through Sacral Nerve Stimulation (SNS) and Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS). SNS involves implanting a lead near the sacral nerves, which control the bladder, bowel, and pelvic floor muscles. By modulating the electrical activity of these nerves, SNS is highly effective in treating...
