ADVANCING DEEP BRAIN STIMULATION FOR MOVEMENT DISORDERS

Featuring: Joshua M. Rosenow, MD

Joshua M. Rosenow, MD, director of Functional Neurosurgery and professor of Neurosurgery, Neurology, and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Northwestern Medicine, discusses deep brain stimulation (DBS) as a treatment option for patients with movement disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor and dystonia, as well as psychiatric disorders, such as epilepsy, Tourette syndrome (TS) and obsessive compulsive disorder.

​In recent work, Rosenow and other investigators found that a novel deep brain stimulation device significantly improved quality of life for patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease, while also reducing physical side effects from medication.
