New Horizons
in the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease
An exciting recent
development in the neurosurgical treatment of advanced Parkinson's
Disease is Subthalamic Nucleus (STN) deep brain Stimulation
(DBS). This procedure is performed at New York University
School of Medicine under the direction of P. J. Kelly M.D. (Professor
and Chairman Department of Neurosurgery) and A. Beric M.D. (Director
of Clinical Neurophysiology and Movement Disorder Section - Department
of Neurology) under an investigational protocol pending FDA approval.
South Shore Neurologic Associaties Movement Disorder Section
has been working closely with Dr Kelly and Dr Beric to identify
those people on Long Island, New York with Parkinson's Disease
whose quality of life, despite aggressive medical management,
has been unacceptable and that might benefit from this novel approach
to treatment.
