Deep brain stimulation for Parkinsons, Dystonia & Esential tremors

Deep Brain Stimulation is highly advanced, sophisticated & safe, minimally invasive brain surgery. The fine electrodes ( DBS leads) are implanted in specific areas of brain to get desired effects & control of symptoms. These DBS leads are then connected to battery placed in upper part of front chest. The delivery of electric current from battery to brain leads is controlled with programmer & can be adjusted to individual patient needs. Most of this surgery is performed while patient is awake & noticing the effects of stimulation & giving feedback how he is feeling with therapy. DBS therapy is approved by FDA for treatment of Parkinsons Disease, Dystonia & Essential tremors. Although the DBS treatment is expensive but it brings marked improvement in patient’s quality of life.
