Abstract

The study involved 56 patients with advanced and late stages of Parkinsons disease, which could be considered as potentially requiring neurosurgical treatment-electrical stimulation of deep brain structures. An algorithm has been developed for selecting patients with advanced and late stages of Parkinsons disease for neurological treatment-implantation of a system for electrical stimulation of deep brain structures in distant neurosurgical centers, which includes two stages for patients with limited mobility - outpatient and inpatient. The development of an algorithm for referral to neurological treatment has shortened the path of a patient with limited mobility from a polyclinic to a neurological center. Electro stimulation of deep brain structures in Parkinsons disease significantly improved the condition of patients-to increase functional activity by 55%, reduce the severity of motor disorders by 55%, and reduce the dose of levodopa drugs by half.
