Deep Brain Stimulation Trial for Alcohol and Opioid Addiction
A UK trial will implant electrodes in the brains of 12 alcoholic and opioid addicts to test deep brain stimulation's ability to reduce cravings and improve self-control, building on its success treating Parkinson's, depression, and OCD.

Deep Brain Stimulation Enables Paralyzed Patients to Walk
Two paralyzed patients regained significant mobility, including walking and stair climbing, after deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy targeting the lateral hypothalamus, a brain region not previously linked to leg control in humans; the study, published in Nature Medicine, suggests a potential brea...

Brain Stimulation Shows Promise for Treating Anxiety in Parkinson's Disease
A study of 33 Parkinson's patients undergoing deep brain stimulation surgery revealed a strong link between theta brain waves in the basal ganglia and anxiety levels, suggesting DBS could be adapted to treat anxiety, a major unmet need in Parkinson's disease affecting roughly one in three patients.
