Patients' greatest unmet need remains a disease-modifying therapy — one that stops or slows disease progression. The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research (MJFF) supports research to speed cures and, for those living with Parkinson's today, to develop improved treatments for motor symptoms and expanded options for non-motor symptoms.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is the most commonly performed surgical treatment for Parkinson's. A surgeon places thin metal wires in the brain; these wires send electrical pulses to the brain to help control some motor symptoms. For more on deep brain stimulation, watch our free webinar here. While transformative for some, DBS is not for everyone. ...
Exactly how DBS works is not completely understood, but many experts believe it regulates abnormal electrical signaling patterns in the brain. To control normal movement and other functions, brain cells communicate with each other using electrical signals. In Parkinson's disease, these signals become irregular and uncoordinated, which leads to moto...
A team of experts, including a movement disorder specialist (a neurologist with extra training in Parkinson's) and a brain surgeon, conducts an extensive assessment when considering DBS for someone. They review your medications and symptoms, examine you when you're on and off Parkinson's medication, and take brain imaging scans. They also may do de...
Researchers are working to improve upon existing DBS devices and methods to help treat more symptoms and more people. Some researchers are putting electrodes in a different area of the brain — the pedunculopontine nucleus — to treat walking and balance problems that don't typically improve with present-day DBS. Others are developing a "smart" DBS d...
