The success of the first-ever surgery to help patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease was not only a milestone in Philippine medical history; it is likewise a proud moment in the careers of the medical team who conducted the operation.


"You can’t put a price on the life of the patient," says Dr. Dominic Jamora, movement disorder neurologist of the Philippine Movement Disorder Surgery Center (PhilMove) team which conducted the implantation of the deep-brain stimulation (DBS) device that helps control the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.

Thousands of patients from Asia have already benefited from the Activa Parkinson’s Control Therapy, a deep-brain stimulation therapy that has been proven to suppress a number of Parkinson’s symptoms.


Data gathered by the Philippine Movement Disorder Surgery Center (PhilMove) show that in Taiwan alone, an average of 200 patients undergo the procedure annually.


In Thailand, 60 patients have availed themselves of the Activa Parkinson’s Control Therapy since its introduction in 2004 and in Hong Kong, 10 to 12 patients avail themselves of it every year.
