Abstract
The present invention discloses techniques for treating movement disorders by electrical stimulation and/or drug infusion. The present invention utilizes an implantable signal generator and an electrode and/or an implantable pump and catheter. High electrical stimulation pulses and/or drug therapy is provided to the Pedunculopontine Nucleus (PPN). A sensor may be used to detect various symptoms of the movement disorders. A microprocessor algorithm may then analyze the output from the sensor to regulate the stimulation and/or drug therapy delivered to the PPN.
