Factors Uncovered That May Cause Fluctuations In Deep Brain Stimulation Levels Over Time

Deep brain stimulation therapy blocks or modulates electrical signals in the brain to improve symptoms in patients suffering from movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor and dystonia, but a new study suggests that several factors may cause electrical current to vary over time. Led by Michele Tagliati, MD, director of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's Movement Disorders Program, the study identified variables that affect impedance - resistance in circuits that affect intensity and wavelength of electrical current...
