Electrostimulation of Brain Deep Structures in Parkinson's Disease

Abstract

The study involved 56 patients with advanced and late stages of Parkinsons disease, which could be considered as potentially requiring neurosurgical treatment-electrical stimulation of deep brain structures. An algorithm has been developed for selecting patients with advanced and late stages of Parkinsons disease for neurological treatment-implantation of a system for electrical stimulation of deep brain structures in distant neurosurgical centers, which includes two stages for patients with limited mobility - outpatient and inpatient. The development of an algorithm for referral to neurological treatment has shortened the path of a patient with limited mobility from a polyclinic to a neurological center. Electro stimulation of deep brain structures in Parkinsons disease significantly improved the condition of patients-to increase functional activity by 55%, reduce the severity of motor disorders by 55%, and reduce the dose of levodopa drugs by half.
