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.In

the 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.
