The company ANM Adaptive Neuromodulation GmbH, headquartered in the technology center Jülich develops two new electronic devices for neuro-stimulation, the stimulation of certain areas in the brain. Even in the clinical testing phase, these innovations in the case of tinnitus treatment early as 2010 available on the market and for the therapy of Parkinson's disease, according to the protagonists in 2012.

Since the hearing is not disturbed on a sick ear, but to malfunction in the brain is due ANM uses to influence the corresponding brain areas.

The first clinical study proves: With more than 70 percent of the subjects were the symptoms significantly, and permanently.

Sustainable relief

To Thearpie of Parkinson Jülicher the developers put a "pacemaker" that certain areas in the human brain suggests an implant, the delivery of electrical impulses through the typical Parkinson's symptoms lasting relieve.

"Not new is the stimulation process itself," explains Dr. Claus Martini, a medicine commonly used method of treatment and continues: "Current therapies are based, however, on a permanent excitation of brain areas, the technology on ANM-stimulation interval in a more or less long time distances. "Jülicher The company expects to significantly fewer side effects like this and would like this later this year in a clinical study to prove.
