Continuous Electrical Neuromodulation of the Globus Pallidus Intern in Parkinson's Disease by the Directional Electrode CARTESIA™

Summary

Many patients have benefited from the implantation of brain stimulation electrodes for the treatment of various motor signs of Parkinson's disease in the phase of motor fluctuations. This technique has significantly improved the motor symptomatology of Parkinson's disease and the dyskinesias induced by pharmacological treatment. Technological advances in the field of deep brain stimulation (DBS) could improve the benefit of this therapeutic tool. therapeutic tool. While using directional electro
