Additional information
This paper (with Neurosurgery in the OUH) establishes the principle of a non-invasive method for brain stimulation to control neurological disease. Aziz is a pioneer in deep brain stimulation (DBS) (see MRC Impact website), a successful treatment that implants electrodes permanently deep in the brain, with associated risks. Transcranial stimulation, by contrast, provides external stimulation and is unnoticeable by the patient (unlike, for example, TMS, a better known therapy). The paper offers proof of principle in a group of patients with tremor. The new technique should improve therapy for Parkinson’s disease and potentially neurological disorders amenable to DBS.
