Official Title: Programming Strategy of Variable Frequency Stimulation for Gait Impairments in Parkinson's Disease
Brief Summary:
Variable Frequency Stimulation(VFS) is a stimulation pattern applied in Deep Brain Stimulation(DBS) therapy for Parkinson's disease(PD).Peking Union Medical College Hospital was the first centre conducting research on VFS.The studies in the past have resembled conclusion that VFS provides improvement not only in the major symptoms such as tremor and rigidity, but also in gait and balance disorder.However, the best programming strategy of VFS has not met agreement.The random-controlled double blinded crossover…
