CCTV9英语新闻12月：中国在帕金森病的治疗取得了突破性的进展

Chinese scientists have successfully tested a self-developed "brain pacemaker", which could radically¹ improve the treatment of Parkinson's disease.

It’s being seen as a major breakthrough in Chinese medical technology, in an area long dominated by the US. Developed by Tsinghua University, it’s designed to redress² electrical imbalances in the brain. An electrode is implanted into a specific area of the brain, and delivers a small electrical current.

The breakthrough by a research team at Tsinghua University is expected to significantly lower spending costs for patients. The device has been patented in both China and the US.
