Deep Brain Stimulation
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a surgical technique used to treat neurological disorders. It involves the implantation of electrodes into targeted areas of the brain, which are connected to a pacemaker-like device that sends electrical signals. These signals modulate the activity of neurons and can be used to reduce or eliminate symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and certain types of depression. DBS is effective in improving quality of life and has been used to treat a variety of neurological conditions, allowing patients to live a more normal life. It is a safe and minimally invasive procedure, making it a viable option for those who may not be candidates for more invasive treatments.
