In this episode, Cleveland Clinic neurosurgeon and researcher Andre Machado, MD, PhD, talks about deep brain stimulation and its potential to help stroke patients recover. Introduced in the 1990s, deep brain stimulation has been described as a pacemaker for the brain and has been used to treat a variety of disorders. Recently, Dr. Machado became the first to implant a deep brain stimulator in a stroke patient with paralysis. The Clinic will evaluate whether the brain stimulation, along with physical therapy, helps the patient regain movement.
