See how Deep-brain Stimulation works:
‘Most people know that Parkinson’s disease is a crippling neurodegenerative disorder. But what do Parkinson’s patients actually have to go through day after day? And what do such procedures as deep-brain stimulation (DBS)—currently the most effective surgical treatment for the disease—involve?
‘Shaken: Journey into the Mind of a Parkinson’s Patient answers these questions. The documentary follows Paul Schroder, who was diagnosed with the disease when he was in his 30s and who, after growing increasingly debilitated, decided to undergo DBS. The film is now airing nationally on public television stations and is available on DVD through the Lila Films Web site’ www.lilafilms.com/shakendvd.htm. -Sci Am
