A woman with Parkinson’s disease who played a clarinet while undergoing brain stimulation said she was “delighted” with how it went.
Denise Bacon, 65, from Crowborough in East Sussex, experienced instant improvement in her finger movements as the electrical current was delivered to her brain, doctors at King’s College Hospital said.
The retired speech and language therapist underwent deep brain stimulation (DBS) after suffering symptoms of Parkinson’s.
She was diagnosed with the disease in 2014 and it has affected her ability to walk, swim, dance and play her clarinet.
