A comparison of two types of deep brain stimulation shows they are equally effective in improving motor function in Parkinson's disease patients.

These electrical impulses stimulate parts of the brain that contribute to Parkinson's disease. The electrodes are commonly placed in one of two targets: the globus pallidus or the subthalamic nucleus. (source: webmd.com)
