Nidan....a rather complex approach to treating Parkinson's

True, though a nearly identical procedure is done commonly to implant subthalamic nucleus stimulators (a form of "deep brain stimulation"). That procedure is typically done stereotactically while awake through a burr hole in the skull. DBS has its complications but they are modest and considered acceptable for the benefits of DBS. I'm sure everyone would prefer to start with a pill but the available pills lose their efficacy.

and rather novel in that it does not focus on the degeneration mode of the disease but rather utilizing the brain amazing capability to create "work arounds' when attacked.

An independent mode of action makes it very likely it could be added on to other therapies.
