Functional neurosurgery seeks to treat diseases caused by abnormal nerve system activity. Contrary to surgery for the removal of tumors or surgery to repair injuries, which focus on improving the patients' symptoms and restoring functioning. This kind of procedure can aid patients suffering from the disease Parkinson's, essential tremors, dystonias, epilepsy, and other chronic discomforts.
