Scientists Say Brain Stimulations Hold Potential in Treating Anxiety in Parkinson’s Sufferers
Researchers studying brain waves have suggested that a new discovery they have made could hold the key to treating anxiety in people diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. For a long time, DBS (deep brain stimulation) has been leveraged in the management of the physical symptoms linked to Parkinson’s, such as tremor, slowness and body stiffness. This new research suggests that DBS can take advantage of a specific brain wave and help treat anxiety in those with Parkinson’s disease. Doctor Lucia Ricciardi, who co-led the study and works at University of London, explained that anxiety is a serious unmet medical need among…
