The International Workshop on Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders, organized by the Center for Parkinson's Disease (PD) and Movement Disorders, Neurology and Neurosurgery of the University of Chicago Medicine, in conjunction with the Department of Neurology, Beijing Hospital, will be held in Beijing on October 26, 2019. DBS is an effective therapy for PD patients experiencing motor fluctuations, dyskinesia and medication-refractory tremor. Currently, the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and the globus pallidus internus (GPi) are the two commonly used targets for PD, with their respective advantages and disadvantages influencing patient selection. DBS is also used for the treatment of Essential Tremor (targeting VIM, ventral intermediate nucleus) and a variety of dystonia (targeting GPi). In recent years, the field of DBS has been progressively moving forward, with modified indications and stimulation targets being gradually explored and clinically tested. Preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative quality control, as well as directional DBS electrode and programming technology are also constantly improving to maximize the quality of stimulation and reduce postoperative complications. This workshop is organized by Tao Xie, MD PhD, Associate Professor of Neurology, Director of the Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Clinic and DBS Program, Director of the Information and Referral Center of American Parkinson’s Disease Association, University of Chicago Medicine, and co-organized by Peter Warnke, MD, Professor of Surgery, Director of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, University of Chicago Medicine, sponsored by the University of Chicago and hosted by the Department of Neurology, Beijing Hospital. Six well-known experts in PD, movement disorders, DBS, basal ganglia function and cognitive function from the University of Chicago, New York University and Columbia University and seven leading experts in PD, movement disorders and DBS from Beijing and Shanghai are invited as speakers. We hope to promote academic exchanges between the United States and China, and facilitate the collaboration between the University of Chicago and leading academic institutes and hospitals in China, in patient care, education and research, particularly in the field of diagnosis and treatment of PD and movement disorders, which go beyond the DBS approach.

The workshop waives the registration fee. It will be held at The University of Chicago Center in Beijing, which was established in September 2010. It has served as a platform in supporting and facilitating interdisciplinary collaborations for scholars, teachers and students between the University of Chicago and academic institutes in China, and in disseminating the rigorous academic attitude and rich scientific achievements of the University of Chicago.

Through this workshop, we hope to exchange and update the most advanced care in DBS in PD and movement disorders, build a communication platform and promote further academic exchanges and cooperation in education, research, and patient consultation and referrals, between the University if Chicago and academic institutes and hospitals in China. We sincerely invite all colleagues and friends to attend the meeting, especially the residents and fellows in neurology and neurosurgery, specialists in PD, movement disorders and DBS, neurologists and neurosurgeons, students and researchers in neuroscience, and other health professionals.

Looking forward to your participation!
