Deep Brain Stimulation
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a type of surgical treatment which uses electrical stimulation of specific areas within the brain to treat neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s Disease, essential tremor, dystonia and epilepsy. By sending electrical impulses to precise areas in the brain, the brain’s activity and communication can be regulated in order to reduce or eliminate symptoms that are associated with these conditions. It has been used in Europe, the United States, and other parts of the world since the late 1990s and has proven to be a successful, safe and effective treatment for many patients. DBS also has potential applications for treating a variety of other neurological disorders and diseases.
