About Deep Brain Stimulation
Deep brain stimulation is a surgical procedure that involves implanting wires, or electrodes, in the brain and using safe and mild electrical impulses to stimulate them. This stimulation eases irregular body movements that can interfere with how a patient moves naturally and what they do in everyday life. Your medical team will observe and optimize the current over time to make sure it continues to provide effective results.
Benefits
Our neurosurgeons know that for many people, DBS can be the difference between declining and regaining control of their lives. DBS allows many patients to resume some of the most routine aspects of daily life, such as feeding themselves, and to enjoy hobbies and social activities again. Some patients have even been able to reduce their medications enough to ease side effects like nausea. Our specialists have seen again and again how these results bring joy and relief to their patients.
