Deep brain stimulation (DBS) | Aster Medcity Kochi | Parkinson's Disease

Treating Parkinson's Disease and other movement disorders with Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) involves the placement of a small device (called a neurostimulator) in the body to deliver tiny electrical impulses to leads (wires) in the brain. These impulses correct the brain activity that causes tremors and involuntary movements associated with Parkinson's Disease and other movement disorders. The benefits are usually visible immediately after the patient wakes up from surgery and the neurostimulator is turned on. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical procedure involving the placement of a medical device called a neurostimulator (sometimes referred to as a "brain pacemaker"), which sends electrical impulses, through implanted electrodes, to specific targets in the brain (brain nuclei) for the treatment of movement disorders - Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease Deep Brain Stimulation - Support Group Launch at Aster Medcity Kochi
