In Parkinson's disease, a part of the brain called the globus pallidus is relieve movement symptoms such as tremor and stiffness (rigidity). There are a few surgical treatments for Parkinson's disease, but the most DBS is used for the treatment of motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease, targeted and can include a thalamotomy, pallidotomy, and sub-thalamotomy.
