What is Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery?

Deep brain stimulation, or DBS, is a surgical method of treating a particular type of Parkinson's disease. If a patient has Parkinson's disease, he might have aggravated symptoms like shaking, tremors, rigidity, and loss of movement control.

These symptoms make a person dependent on simple daily routine things. That's why it needs interventional treatment.

How is the Procedure Performed?

In the Deep brain stimulation technique, a small pacemaker device is installed in the chest area, which triggers the area of the brain which has control over the body.

These signals block some nerve conduction, which is unknowingly being passed to the organs.

This way, symptoms mainly subside.

The procedure is done in two steps. In the first step, thin wires or electrodes are placed, and in the second step, a pacemaker is installed.

Who is the Right Doctor for Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery?

Medical specialists who deal with such cases and treatments are Neurologists and Neurosurgeons.

What is the Usual Success Rate for this Procedure?

The five-year survival rate for DBS-treated patients is around 50%, and the quality of life is being improved to a very great extent.

A patient can manage his symptoms, do day-to-day activities independently, and have a sense of independence backed up.
