Abstract:
Traditional tonic spinal cord stimulation has been shown to improve locomotor behaviour of Parkinson's disease (PD), but may induce paresthesia. Recently developed new stimulation mode, called BurstDR, improved pain, gait and posture of later developed PD patients without inducing paresthesia, in addition to improve emotional symptoms.
