British scientists have developed a tiny brain device that helped a patient with Parkinson's disease manage to get rid of symptoms. He became the first person to receive treatment during a year-long trial, writes the Daily Mail.. The device works by delivering electrical impulses to damaged areas of the brain, and since there is no cure for Parkinson's disease, this treatment could be revolutionary.. " Just tying your shoelaces is a major operation… it has a huge impact on your daily life,” the study authors noted.. It is noted that most people develop symptoms over the age of 50 years, but about one in 20 patients experience them when they are under 40 years old.. A new system called DBS includes a tiny battery system for a device implanted in the skull.. It then delivers electrical impulses to targeted areas of the brain.. For now, DBS surgery currently involves implanting a fairly large pacemaker-like battery connected to wires that run under the skin to the brain.. Operation lasts three hours. That is, two times less than before. Recall that one of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease is seborrheic dermatitis.. Changes in voice may indicate an incurable disease.
