Deep Brain Stimulation

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a medical treatment that involves implanting a small device in the brain. This device sends electrical impulses to specific areas of the brain, which can help regulate abnormal brain activity. DBS is often used for conditions like Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia when other treatments are ineffective. By targeting particular regions, it can alleviate symptoms like tremors and stiffness, improving quality of life. The procedure is reversible, meaning the device can be turned off or removed if necessary. Overall, DBS offers a promising option for managing chronic neurological conditions.
