Recent discoveries in brain stimulation highlight its potential to treat anxiety in Parkinson's disease patients. With over 10 million individuals diagnosed globally, many suffer from anxiety, complicating their condition. Existing deep brain stimulation therapy alleviates physical symptoms but now shows promise in addressing anxiety through tailored neuromodulation treatments. Researchers found a direct connection between brain activity in the basal ganglia and anxiety levels, suggesting that higher theta wave activity correlates with increased anxiety, revealing new possibilities for enhancing patient care.
More than 10 million people worldwide are living with Parkinson's, and about one in three have troublesome anxiety that affects their daily life.
Our results now offer hope...deep brain stimulation has the potential to have wider-reaching benefits for people living with Parkinson's than we previously thought.
