Deep brain stimulation and radiofrequency lesioning for movement disorders and chronic pain and spinal cord stimulation for chronic pain are clinical treatments that enable electrical stimulation and direct electrical recording from deep within the human brain and spine. In the Neuromodulation group we use these invasive therapeutic tools combined with non-invasive physiological techniques, psychological methods, computerised tomography and magnetic resonance imaging to further our fundamental understanding of how the brain and spine integrate sensation with movement, cognition and emotion towards innovative and improved neurosurgical treatments. Conditions studied include Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, tremor, cervical myelopathy and chronic pain.
