065 The Present and Future of Surgical Options Explained

This is our final episode of 2022 and we have covered a lot of topics this year and heard from a few of you as well. However, this topic is an important one to understand as we all keep our therapy options open. Neuromodulation, which mostly means neurosurgery and includes Deep Brain Stimulation, may be a perfectly normal option either in the short term or longer time frame. Neuromodulation is the technology that delivers treatment directly to the affected nerves. So, this may include gene therapy or stem cells in the future. It’s exciting to think about. Let’s find out more from our expert neurosurgeon, Dr. Jonathan Parker who is the Epilepsy and Functional Neurosugeon at Mayo Clinic, about the what’s available presently and what is on the horizon.

Warning – this episode is a bit longer than normal but well worth listening to the end.
