New in the treatment of Parkinson's disease

A man has been cured of Parkinson's for the first time with a brain implant. Englishman Tony Howells was able to get rid of movement disorders caused by Parkinson's disease with the help of an implanted neuroimplant. This development deeply stimulates the affected areas of the brain through electrical impulses. Previously, the patient was able to walk no more than 200 meters, but a year after the operation, he can move up to four kilometers, play golf and quickly perform daily tasks. At the moment, the device needs to maintain performance with a fairly large battery, which is located in the chest area and is connected by wires under the skin to an implant in the brain. In the future, experts plan to refine it and create a more compact battery that will be located directly in the skull.
