Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Treatment in India

Deep brain stimulation involves implanting thin electrodes into specific areas of the brain connected to a small pulse generator, which delivers electrical impulses to regulate abnormal brain activity. DBS is widely used to manage movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia, significantly improving symptoms and quality of life for eligible patients.

• Tremors that interfere with daily activities
• Muscle stiffness or rigidity
• Slowness of movement
• Involuntary muscle contractions (dystonia)
• Motor symptoms not adequately controlled by medication

DBS is typically considered for patients with Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, or dystonia whose symptoms are not well controlled by medication alone, or who experience significant medication side effects. Careful neurological evaluation confirms candidacy.

• Performed under local anesthesia with the patient awake for precise electrode placement, or under general anesthesia depending on technique
• Thin electrodes are implanted into targeted areas of the brain using imaging guidance
• A pulse generator is placed under the skin, usually near the collarbone
• Device settings are calibrated and adjusted after surgery
• Surgery duration is typically 4-6 hours

• 3-5 days hospital stay
• Device programming and adjustment over subsequent weeks
• Gradual improvement in motor symptoms as settings are optimized
• Most patients resume daily activities within 2-4 weeks
• Regular follow-up to fine-tune stimulation settings

• Specialized functional neurosurgery team with DBS expertise
• Advanced imaging for precise electrode targeting
• Ongoing programming support for optimal symptom control
• Transparent, all-inclusive package pricing
• Comprehensive coordination for international patients
