Motor sensory stimulation (Modulation) in Parkinsonism
P
arkinsonism is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a progressive loss of midbrain dopaminergic (DA) system.
Subsequent reduction in striatal dopamine results in various clinical manifestations with Tremor, Rigidity, Bradikinesia and
Postural defect. The term Motor Sensory stimulation (Modulation) encompasses a broad range of treatments, both electrical
and chemical, targeting various locations in the Brain and the body to achieve the desired results. Deep brain stimulation (DBS)
is a Neurosurgical treatment used in Parkinsonism and other conditions. Electrical stimulation at high frequency in precise
locations of the brain results in the restoration of the balance of the circuits that are disrupted in Parkinsonism (Parkinson
Disease). Stimulation in high frequency of the sub thalamic nucleus has now become a standard Neuro Surgical therapy in
Parkinson disease. Transplantation of fetal dopaminergic (DA) neurons also produces symptomatic relief. The technical and
ethical difficulties in obtaining sufficient and appropriate donor fetal brain tissue are the limitations in the application of this
therapy. Neural precursor cells and embryonic stem (ES) cells are going to be the potential donor cells for
transplantation.Inthe mid-1990s, creation of targeted holes in specific areas of the brain or Lesioning were the main approaches.Repalement Cell
therapy was tried in some cases. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive way of stimulating the brain, have
also shown benefit in Posture and gait in some patients of Parkinson Disease. This targeted Stereotactic thalamotomy of the
thalamic nucleus ventralis intermedius (VIM) is routinely used for bilateral extrapyramidal movement disorders. This targeted
neuromodulator therapies can avoid the side effects. They are easily reversible if and when occurs, they can give an important
degree of therapeutic effect in patients. This communication addresses the mainly Deep Brain Stimulation,Transplantaion and
Stem Cell therapy and its Frontiers of the Neurophysiological basis,technical,ethical considerations and its Therapeutic effects
in Parkinsonism, Tremor and Dystonia patients.
