An Ohio music conductor battling Parkinson's has found relief with adaptive deep brain stimulation, nearly eliminating ...

A former military and commercial pilot is now the first Parkinson’s disease patient in the D.C. area to be using an “adaptive ...

The treatment gives patients targeted electrical impulses, much like a pacemaker for the brain. A growing body of recent research is promising, with more underway — although two large studies ...

A new implantable device regulated by a person's brain activity could provide ‘round-the-clock’ personalized care for those suffering from the debilitating symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

A music conductor with Parkinson's was fitted with a ‘pacemaker for the brain’ to control his tremors so he can lead his ...

The device, called a deep brain stimulation implant, is similar to a pacemaker, but for the brain. It involves the placement of a pulse generator that sends electrical signals to the parts of the ...

New pacing systems have recently been specifically designed by the major companies for safe use in the MRI environment (EnRhythm, Advisa, and Revo MRI SureScan pacemakers and CapSureFix MRI leads ...

The self-adjusting device is the first of its kind, and for Scott Stanslaski, a senior distinguished engineer at Medtronic, ...

Minimally invasive Tiny pacemaker is so small that it can be injected into the body via a syringe. (Courtesy: Northwestern University) The world’s smallest pacemaker to date is smaller than a single ...

Researchers have created a pacemaker smaller than a grain of rice that does not require open surgery to implant.

The electrodes receive impulses from a battery-powered stimulator—a pacemaker for the brain—implanted under the skin of his chest. “I probably would not be speaking clearly … I wouldn’t ...
