Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)
Advanced technology for movement disorders
DBS treatment for Parkinson's disease, dystonia, and essential tremor with 12 years of experience. Restoring quality of life through minimally invasive stereotactic surgery with 6mm incision.
Treatment Features
Overview
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) treats movement disorders by delivering electrical stimulation through electrodes implanted in specific brain regions. With 12 years of experience, applied for Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia treatment.
What is Deep Brain Stimulation?
DBS delivers high-frequency electrical stimulation through electrodes placed in specific brain nuclei responsible for movement control (STN, GPi, VIM). This 'brain pacemaker' system normalizes abnormal neural activity to control movement disorders.

Frequently Asked Questions
With local anesthesia, pain is minimal. In our 12 years of experience, patients remain comfortable throughout the procedure.
Modern rechargeable batteries last 15-20 years, while traditional batteries last 3-5 years. Battery replacement is a simple procedure.
MRI-compatible systems are used. MRI scans are possible under specific conditions with appropriate safety protocols.
With DBS, medication doses can typically be reduced by 50-70%. Complete cessation is rarely possible but not usually the goal.
