Held in partnership with the University of Edinburgh and the Journal of Parkinson’s Disease, with Edinburgh University’s Professor Tilo Kunath as chair, the next edition of our quarterly webinar series will focus on DBS.
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a surgical treatment for Parkinson’s that involves implanting electrodes in the brain. These electrodes produce electrical impulses that stimulate brain activity, which can help relieve Parkinson’s motor symptoms.
Our next quarterly webinar will take place on 24 September at 5:00 pm BST, with a focus on DBS and a special emphasis on an emerging form of this therapy: adaptive DBS. Edinburgh University’s Professor Tilo Kunath will be joined by an expert panel to discuss what DBS is, how the therapy works and interacts with the brain, and whether DBS, especially adaptive DBS, could have a disease-modifying effect.
