Deep Brain Stimulation

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a highly advanced surgical procedure designed to address and alleviate the symptoms of certain neurological conditions. This intricate surgery involves the implantation of a specialized device in the brain that emits controlled electrical signals. This device consists of electrodes carefully positioned deep within the brain and is interconnected with another device akin to a pacemaker but designed specifically for the brain. This "brain pacemaker" sends precise electric pulses to modulate and regulate brain activity, effectively managing various neurological conditions.

DBS is a groundbreaking option for individuals suffering from conditions such as Parkinson's disease, dystonia, essential tremor, and more. These conditions often manifest as debilitating symptoms, including tremors, slowness of movement, muscle stiffness, and difficulty walking. What makes DBS particularly remarkable is its potential to significantly reduce the severity of these symptoms, offering patients an improved quality of life.

In the DBS procedure, a minuscule electrode, essentially a specialized wire, is delicately inserted into the brain. This electrode is then connected to a compact device known as a neurostimulator, which is implanted either in the chest or abdomen. Once activated, the neurostimulator emits mild electrical currents through the electrode, targeting the specific region of the brain responsible for the troubling symptoms. By doing so, it effectively manages and corrects the abnormal nerve signals that give rise to symptoms like tremors and rigidity.

DBS isn't limited to a single condition; it has demonstrated success in treating a range of neurological disorders, including Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia, epilepsy, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
