Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical technique that involves the implantation of electrodes into specific areas of the brain. These electrodes are connected to a battery-powered generator, which is implanted under the skin near the collarbone. The generator produces electrical impulses that are delivered to the brain through the electrodes, which can regulate brain activity and help to improve symptoms in certain conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, dystonia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and depression.
DBS is typically used as a treatment option for patients who have not responded well to other forms of treatment, such as medications or physical therapy. It works by stimulating the specific areas of the brain that are involved in controlling movement, mood, or other symptoms. The electrical impulses help to regulate the activity of the brain cells, which can improve symptoms and improve quality of life.
Deep Brain Stimulation surgery Cost in India can range from anywhere between 15000-30000 USD .
