A deep brain stimulation technique designed to treat neurological damage caused by Parkinson’s disease is being trialed at Royal Brisbane Women's Hospital.
Neurologist Dr Robert Adam said their treatment involves placing thin wires in the brain of the person and sending short electrical pulses to relieve trembling and stiffness.
Parkinson’s patient Chris Harrison was part of last year’s initial trial and says the treatment means he can now throw a ball around and go on holidays with family.
