State-of-the-art medicines and therapies are being developed every day for the treatment of movement disorders. Some of these treatments are now available at Wallace-Kettering Neuroscience Institute and include deep brain stimulation.

Surgical Option:
Deep Brain Stimulation

Deep brain stimulation is a surgical treatment for tremors associated with Parkinson's disease and in treatment of tremors that can no longer be controlled by medication. Delivering mild electrical stimulation to the brain and blocking signals that cause tremors or shaking, the treatment often produces dramatic results and can reduce or eliminate the need for anti-tremor medications.

The Neuroscience Team specializing in these disorders will work with each patient and family to determine the best treatment based on the patient's diagnosis and medical history.
