Surgical Treatments and Other Therapies
Pallidotomy was once the most common surgery for
Parkinson's. In this procedure, a surgeon destroys a portion of the
brain called the globus pallidus. Pallidotomy can improve symptoms
of tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia, possibly by interrupting the
connections between the globus pallidus and the striatum or
thalamus.
