Article Synopsis
- Stimulation of the M1 brain region has been used since 1991 to help with chronic pain and movement disorders, including Parkinson's disease.
- A review of literature showed 459 cases of motor cortex stimulation (MCS) used, with 72 focused on movement disorders, and a specific report on 4 Parkinson's patients treated with MCS.
- Initial improvements in motor function were noted within 6 months, but most benefits diminished by the end of 12 months, suggesting more extensive research is needed to consider MCS a viable alternative to existing treatments like deep brain stimulation (DBS).
