Over the past decade, a new method of deep brain stimulation, used more and more in German clinics. In this method, electrodes are implanted long thin a special pivot area (basal ganglia) brain, as well as their connection to elektrostimulyatornoy system, which is located under the skin.
High-frequency signal inhibits the morbidly overexcited noticeably improved.

"In addition, advice and assistance to patients and their relatives held in working closely with other departments. Before surgery, neurologists and child neurologists and psychiatrists consulted in time interdisciplinary conference regarding the decision.
