Device-Assisted and Lesioning Procedures in the Management of Parkinson’s Disease: A Therapeutic Evolution

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor symptoms including bradykinesia, resting tremor, rigidity, and postural instability. While dopaminergic pharmacotherapy remains the cornerstone of symptom management, long-term use often results in complications such as motor fluctuations and dyskinesias. In this context, device-assisted and lesioning procedures have emerged as viable adjuncts or alternatives to pharmacological interventions.
