At a Glance
About this Procedure
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical treatment in which thin electrodes (leads) are placed in specific areas of the brain and connected to a small battery-powered pulse generator implanted under the skin of the chest. The device sends mild electrical impulses that help regulate abnormal brain signals. It does not cure the underlying condition, but it can ease symptoms, and the settings can be adjusted over time.
DBS is used for Parkinson's disease when symptoms worsen and medicines are no longer as effective, essential tremor, dystonia, and some cases of medication-resistant epilepsy and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Candidates are carefully selected by a neurologist and neurosurgeon, usually with detailed assessments of symptoms, medicine response and brain imaging.
DBS is usually done in stages. For lead placement, the head is held in a stereotactic frame and the surgeon uses imaging to guide the leads through a small opening in the skull. For movement disorders, you may be awake with the scalp numbed, so the team can check your response; the brain itself does not feel pain. In a second stage, under general anaesthetic, the pulse generator is placed below the collarbone. You typically stay one night after lead placement and often go home the same day after the generator is placed. The device is then programmed and adjusted at follow-up visits.
DBS is offered at Medwell's partner hospitals in Delhi NCR, including BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital, New Delhi, Artemis Hospital, Gurugram, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram and Fortis Hospital, Noida. The treating neurologist and neurosurgeon confirm whether DBS suits you after a detailed assessment.
