Parkinson's Disease
Treatment and Research - Surgical Treatments and Other
Therapies
Some studies have also found that pallidotomy can improve gait and
balance and reduce the amount of levodopa people need, thus
reducing the dyskinesias and dystonia caused by the drugs. A
related surgical procedure, called thalamotomy, involves
destroying part of the brain's thalamus. Thalamotomy is useful
mainly to reduce tremor.
