Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Movement disorders including Parkinson’s disease (PD), essential tremor (ET) and dystonia are chronic neurodegenerative diseases and affect many people around the world. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective and safe, well established treatment for refractory movement disorders through electrical modulation of neural activity . However, the exact mechanism of DBS within the context of movement disorders is not complete understood. This article collections aims to investigate new DBS surgical and programming techniques in movement disorders, understanding the neurophysiological brain changes observed in these conditions and the use of neuromodulation for the treatment of various movement disorders. Additionally, we are interested in presenting novel technological advancements that could improve the treatment of these diseases.
We invite cutting-edge articles and review articles which discuss new treatment modalities in patients with movement disorders.
Contributions on the following themes are welcome:
- Cutting edge neuromodulation research.
- Mechanism of Brain stimulation.
- Neurophysiological advances and understanding of DBS and movement disorders.
- Diagnosis and novel treatment in movement disorders.
- Wearable technologies in movement disorders.
- Telemedicine in movement disorders.
