Adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS)
Use feedback from brain signals to guide stimuli.
Recent acute trials of unilateral aDBS have shown that aDBS can lead to a unified score scale for Parkinson's disease in the opposite half-body (UPDRS)
The motor score of Parkinson's disease may be better than the traditional continuous DBS (PD).
We tested whether bilateral aDBS retain potential benefits in the face of simultaneous medication.
Methods four patients with Parkinson's disease were treated with bilateral aDBS.
According to the amplitude of beta activity on the corresponding electrode, aDBS trigger bilateral transmission through independent stimulation.
The average stimulus voltage is 3. 0±0. 1 volts.
Auto evaluation includes double evaluationblinded video-
Recording Movement UPDRS scores including limb and axial features.
Results The score of UPDRS was 43% (p=0. 04; Cohen’s d=1. 62)
ADBS are better than no stimulus.
Despite the long average stimulation time, the exercise of aDBS improved (ToS)of only 45%.
Left dopamine was well tolerated during aDBS and led to further reduction of ToS.
Conclusion bilateral aDBS can improve the symptoms of the axis and limb, and can track the stimulation demand across drug states.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS)
Is an established treatment for advanced Parkinson's disease (PD).
However, its applicability is limited due to cost, side effects and partial efficacy.
2 The symptoms fluctuate according to the cognitive/motor load, stress and drug status in PD, which is well known.
There is growing evidence that these fluctuations are related to the different levels of beta in the cortex (13–30u2005Hz)
Oscillation, changes in its amplitude are associated with movement improvement in treatment response.

Study on Parkinson's disease
Humans, 8 we recently triggered the amplitude of beta activity in the local field potential (LFP)
Record the nucleus from the bottom of the Hill (STN).
This study shows that aDBS are more effective than continuous DBS (cDBS)
Although the total time of stimulation is
