A dad-of-five who has Parkinson's disease says he has been able to go back to work after a specialist treatment to help with his symptoms.
Jonathan Wright has had deep brain stimulation treatment at the Queen's Medical Centre, in Nottingham, which can help control the symptoms of the disease, but does not cure it and is not suitable for everyone.
The treatment involves placing electrodes inside the brain to change the electrical signals in the brain that cause the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
Mr Wright, from Leicester, said: "I am able to go back to work, socialise normally and I don't have a fear of being in company. My sleep patterns have normalised.
"My mobility is virtually normalised so it is just right across the board, the positive impact."
