Subthalamic Nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) has emerged as an effective neurorehabilitation approach for managing the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). This surgical intervention involves implanting electrodes within the STN region of the brain, which is a key component of the basal ganglia circuit involved in movement control. By delivering electrical stimulation to the STN, DBS can modulate the abnormal neural activity associated with PD, thereby reducing tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia (slowness of movement). There are various methods of STN stimulation, each with its own advantages and limitations. Additionally, novel techniques like Eye Saccades, possibly 60hz Binaural Beats, Transcranial Direct Current, or trans-Spinal Direct Current and tongue stimulation are emerging.
