first 0:13 thing to recognize is what is 0:15 Parkinson's this is not a simple 0:17 disorder this is actually very complex 0:20 disorder and the view about Parkinson's Its not just a movement disorder 0:22 is it's not just a movement disorder 0:24 it's not just something that's due to 0:27 degeneration one part of the brain it's 0:29 not just to do with dopamine it's in 0:31 fact may not even be a brain disorder it 0:33 might be something uh sweeps in from the 0:35 gut it's not a static disorder and it's 0:38 actually I don't think it's a single 0:40 disease at all I think it's an 0:42 individual disease and people need to be 0:44 treated as individuals and if you 0:46 understand this you get an idea of the 0:49 magnitude of the problem we're facing 0:50 and trying to do something about the 0:52 disease process now if you look at what What weve done so far 0:55 we've done so far is we focused on this 0:58 bit of the brain and we focus on the 1:00 fact that we know that this chemical 1:02 dopamine is missing from the brain and 1:04 if we put it back then we can control 1:06 movement and we've been doing this for 1:08 60 years and we'll either give you 1:10 levodopa Sinemet matter part we'll give 1:12 you a dopamine agonist for pinroll 1:14 pramipexole we're ticketing Apple 1:16 morphine one of these drugs and what we 1:18 do is we give you these drugs they put 1:20 dopamine back into the brain one way or 1:22 another your movement comes back but 1:24 what we're not doing is we're not doing 1:26 anything about the underlying disease 1:28 process which inevitably inevitably is 1:31 going to progress so what can we do in 1:34 the future that's different well we can 1:37 do one of these three things we can do What we can do 1:39 some neuro restoration which means we 1:42 restore or reverse than your own loss 1:44 that's going on in the brain we can do 1:47 some disease modification which in fact 1:49 means we want to try and slow down the 1:51 natural progression disease or we can go 1:54 for the big one which is neuroprotection 1:56 we want to stop the onset of the disease 1:58 or we want to arrest the progression of 2:01 the disease so does that make sense 2:02 doing this doing it three different ways 2:04 okay so if that's what we want to do how 2:08 do we do it well the first thing is that 2:11 we've got lots of stuff going on it's a 2:14 really exciting time there's numerous 2:16 different approaches to trying to 2:18 achieve the objective of altering the 2:20 course of Parkinson's disease in train 2:22 at the moment you

dopamine neurons put 2:35 those in the brain to put dopamine 2:37 production back we can modify viruses so 2:41 that they contain all the genes for 2:43 producing dopamine and we can put the 2:45 virus in the brain and let it infect 2:47 neurons and start to produce dopamine 2:49 again or we can give you a growth factor 2:52 a trophic factor that will stimulate 2:55 remaining dopamine neurons to grow and 2:57 to sprout and even to spread and these Oneoff treatments 3:00 are all very valuable of protists 3:02 they're all one-off treatments these are 3:04 potential in some respects cures and the 3:08 important thing is there's ongoing 3:09 clinical trials in every one of these 3:11 areas but these things are invasive you 3:15 need to have neurosurgery to have any of 3:17 these because you

electrodes in specific areas of the brain. These electrodes deliver electrical impulses to the brain, which can help to control abnormal electrical activity and improve symptoms of certain neurological disorders. The exact mechanism of how DBS works is not fully understood, but it is thought to work by: Blocking or suppressing abnormal electrical activity in the brain Altering the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain Stimulating the release of neurotransmitters that have a calming effect on the brain DBS is most commonly used to treat Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia. It is also being investigated for the treatment of other conditions, such as epilepsy, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and chronic pain. The DBS procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon will make a small incision in the scalp and then insert a thin wire with electrodes at the tip into the brain. The electrodes are then connected to a battery-powered device that is implanted under the skin in the chest. The battery-powered device is programmed to deliver electrical impulses to the brain at a specific frequency and intensity. The patient can usually control the intensity of the stimulation using a remote control. DBS is a generally safe and effective treatment, but it can have some side effects, such as: Pain at the implant site Headache Dizziness Confusion Depression Suicidal thoughts These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own. However, in some cases, they may be more severe and require treatment. DBS is not a cure for any of the conditions it is used to treat, but it can significantly improve symptoms and improve quality of life. The decision of whether or not to undergo DBS is a personal one that should be made after careful consideration of the risks and benefits. Here are some additional things to know about DBS: DBS is a long-term treatment. The battery-powered device typically needs to be replaced every 3 to 5 years. DBS is not a perfect treatment. It does not work for everyone and it can have side effects. DBS is an evolving treatment. Researchers are constantly working to improve the technique and make it more effective and safer. If you are considering DBS, talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of the procedure. They can help you decide if DBS is right for you. profile picture are there devices which also orks likr deep brain stimualtion without surgery Yes, there are some devices that work like deep brain stimulation (DBS) without surgery. These devices are called non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) devices. NIBS devices use magnetic fields or ultrasound waves to stimulate the brain. They are not as invasive as DBS, but they are also not as effective. Some of the most common NIBS devices include: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS): TMS uses a magnetic field to stimulate the brain. It is used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and other conditions. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS): tDCS uses a weak electrical current to stimulate the brain. It is used to treat depression, pain, and other conditions. Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS): tACS uses alternating electrical currents to stimulate the brain. It is used to treat depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and other conditions. NIBS devices are still under development, but they have the potential to be a less invasive and more effective alternative to DBS. Here are some of the advantages of NIBS devices over DBS: They are less invasive. NIBS devices do not require surgery, so there is no risk of infection or complications. They are reversible. If you do not like the effects of NIBS, you can stop using the device and the effects will go away. They are more portable. NIBS devices can be used at home or in the doctor's office. Here are some of the disadvantages of NIBS devices over DBS: They are not as effective. NIBS devices are not as effective as DBS for some conditions. They may have side effects. NIBS devices can cause side effects, such as headache, scalp discomfort, and tingling. They are not yet approved for all conditions. NIBS devices are only approved for a limited number of conditions. If you are considering NIBS, talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of the procedure. They can help you decide if NIBS is right for you. profile picture how effective is cue1 The CUE1 is a non-invasive wearable device that uses vibration to alleviate a range of Parkinson's symptoms including slowness and stiffness of movement and freezing of gait. The CUE1 is still under development, but early studies have shown that it can be effective in improving motor symptoms in people with Parkinson's. One study, published in the journal "Movement Disorders", found that the CUE1 reduced the severity of freezing of gait by 60% in people with Parkinson's. Another study, published in the journal "Parkinsonism & Related Disorders", found that the CUE1 improved walking speed and balance in people with Parkinson's. The CUE1 is not a cure for Parkinson's, but it can be a helpful tool for managing the symptoms of the disease. It is important to note that the CUE1 may not work for everyone, and it is important to talk to your doctor before using it. Here are some of the benefits of the CUE1: It is non-invasive, so there is no risk of surgery or complications. It is reversible, so you can stop using it if you do not like the effects. It is portable, so you can use it at home or in the doctor's office. It is relatively affordable. Here are some of the limitations of the CUE1: It is not as effective as DBS for some conditions. It may have side effects, such as headache, scalp discomfort, and tingling. It is not yet approved for all conditions. Overall, the CUE1 is a promising new device for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. It is still under development, but early studies have shown that it can be effective in improving motor symptoms. If you are considering using the CUE1, talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of the device.
