Surgery on the brain but in the past the only way doctors could do the surgery was with the patient awake and doctors at Jefferson University hospital can perform it while patients are asleep and much more comfortable, i spoke with one local man who says having this option helped him get his life ba back. 69yearold jim fox is back to doing what he loves working with his hands, building boats from the ground up. That is right this 52 footer started out as a flat piece of steel. Feels like a dream come true.

Both my arms shook, my hands shook, the worst part was my jaw shook severely, life was very unbearable. Reporter medication wasnt working much any more and why he chose to have this device implanted in his chest and connected to thin wire electrodes surgically placed in his brain. Its a procedure called deep brain stimulation or dbs and it is helping relieve his tremors. Hold your arms up. Reporter to get an idea of what life was like before the procedure Nurse Practitioner turns down his device on one side, immediately the tremors returned. Turn it back on and they slowly subside. With dbs electrodes are placed on specific areas of the brain. Delivering stimulation that helps control symptoms. The dr. Woo at jefferson is doing dbs while patients are asleep. Traditionally patients are kept awake which as you can imagine can spark fear. It scared the devil out of me, i would not have done it. The healthy of people 67 hours, sit to a table not being able to move, nobody is going to like that. Especially if you have parkinsons that is extremely taxing. Reporter dr. Woo says due to advances in mri imaging surgeons have a much clearer view to map the exact spots for the electrodes. Technology i give is you know if you are looking for a box in your basement you know you can go and try to feel around for the right box but we have a light switch we can turn on the light and see exactly where it is. Reporter this special robot helps improve accuracy. So far studies show overall a sleep dbs is just as effective as awake dbs and mr. Foxs symptoms have improved by more than 50 . Its a huge relief, parkinsons really impacts the whole family. I mean i got my life back. Reporter now as with all procedu procedures there are risks but dr. Woo says the risks are low and sleep version is safer and takes about two hours less in the operating room but this is not for all parkinsons patients and only done when medication is no longer working well. It can also be used to treat a few other conditions we have details about that on 6abc. Com.
