Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a medical procedure that involves implanting electrodes in specific areas of the brain to help treat neurological disorders like Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and depression. Through these electrodes, electrical impulses are delivered to modify abnormal brain activity. This can alleviate symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and mood disorders. The device is controlled by a small pulse generator implanted under the skin, allowing doctors to adjust settings as needed. DBS is considered when other treatments, like medication, are not effective, and it can significantly improve patients' quality of life.
