What is Deep Brain Stimulation?
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is an advanced surgical procedure that involves implanting electrodes in specific brain regions to regulate abnormal neural signals. It is primarily used to manage movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, and essential tremors. By delivering controlled electrical impulses, DBS helps reduce involuntary movements, muscle stiffness, and tremors, significantly improving patients’ quality of life. This procedure is reversible, adjustable, and offers long-term symptom relief, making it a highly effective treatment for those who do not respond well to medications.
