This is not new. However the surgery was and is extremely complicated and it does change the patient’s life for the good. My late father was a Parkinson patient and I can tell you that this is, however not life threatening, a death sentence on the medium term. You stop moving which causes a laundry list of additional problems in the cardiac and respiratory tract, which are ultimately fatal. Besides that the medication load is far from beneficial for the digestion system like stomach and liver.
I think this RM veteran deserves this solution, he has done more than his job for the UK and NATO allies.

My beloved grandfather had Parkinson’s for more than 30 years and it slowly steals so much but didn’t take away his intelligence and zest for life. If he’d had the opportunity to do this he’d have jumped at it. Is it perfect nope but it will get better and improve people’s quality of life. Amazing people doing amazing research

Yes, it is amazing,
I had my DBS installed ( yes installed as there are various stages of the operation and locations eg 2 probes embedded into the brain, a wiring connector on the skull wiring down the neck to the control unit under the collar bone,
the belt/scaf-looking thing is the wireless charger,
Mine was done at UCLH London and haven’t looked back since, it was like magic, after the operation a few weeks later you need it adjusted, it’s a lifelong commitment to the hospital, and I still undergo various programs changes, which I can adjust at home, Yes the things comes with remote control,
It has been as some would say a game-changer for the Many,
And new trials and conditions are being added all the time tourettes is one,
Thank you the DBS team at UCLH London for GIVING my Life back.
I was told it doesn’t work for everyone, I am grateful it worked for me.
I have good days and bad as DBS is Not a cure,to the disability, but it helps in so many ways, physicly,mentaly it gives you your self worth back in so many outstanding ways,

Hope is what distinguishes Humanity from the rest of the matter. My uncle passed away with Parkinsons suffering as much as he could about 12yrs ago. And today we have miracles like DBS available. 👏🙏

I am very proud, that my sister was part of a team that carried out these operations. A true hero. As a Neurosurgery nurse for 25 years she has seen it all. She remains committed to her job despite getting paid far less than most new graduates. Life changing procedures and we reward those instrumental in improving peoples lives with poor wages, and long hours. Behind every success story, there is a nurse, doctor, porter, odp, and support staff, who help them travelling this path.

My father had Parkinson’s. He had been advised to get this treatment but his neurologist had not recommended simply because he said, it’s a degenerative disease. So when you stimulate one part of the brain, it will work for some time. But the cells in other part of the brain degenerate. One can’t go on do it for the rest of the life.
Of course, this is 15 years old development. Science is making some finest discoveries. So doesn’t hurt to ask this to the doctor.

Me neither, Parkinson’s like many other illnesses is very cruel, no real involvement since my dad passed away. I suspect it gets a lot less funding than some other diseases, but there are so many out there where we have no 100% cure for

Wow, this brought me to tears. My father died this year and suffered from Parkinson’s for the last 5 years. It was a brutal disease and my mother 78 tomorrow looked after him with almost no medical care. This is such a heart warming story, thank you for sharing this.

It’s a major but well established technique called Deep Brain Stimulation. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_brain_stimulation
