British surgeons are believed to be the first in the world to implant a device into a brain to reverse the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
Southmead Hospital in Bristol is implanting tiny deep brain stimulation (DBS) devices into the skulls of 25 trial volunteers.
The first patient to receive one has described its “amazing” life changing impact and experts say 14,000 Brits with Parkinson’s could benefit.
