Overview

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a treatment that uses an implanted device to provide an electrical current to specific parts of your brain. This current boosts the efficiency of certain components. It’s most commonly used to treat Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy, but researchers are looking at whether it can assist with a variety of other ailments as well. During deep brain stimulation, stimulators are implanted on both sides of the brain in patients. The electrodes are subsequently placed after the stimulators have detected the inactive areas. The electrodes are then wired to a pacemaker device that is implanted beneath the skin of the chest below the collarbone

Procedure Details

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical treatment that involves implanting electrodes in the brain and delivering electrical impulses to prevent or modify the abnormal activity that produces symptoms. Depending on the type of sickness, patients may have a number of symptoms. Some examples: The human brain uses electrical and chemical impulses for neuron communication. Disorders can cause neuron inactivity, disrupting functions. DBS stimulates these neurons artificially to restore function. It is used when medications fail to ensure quality of life
