Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a groundbreaking neurosurgical procedure used to treat neurological and movement disorders by delivering electrical impulses to specific brain areas. At Bhatia Hospital, recognized as the best neurology hospital in Mumbai, we specialize in DBS therapy, offering hope and relief to patients with conditions like Parkinson’s disease, essential tremors, and dystonia. Our experienced team and advanced facilities ensure optimal outcomes and improved quality of life.

DBS involves implanting a small medical device, similar to a pacemaker, that sends electrical impulses to targeted areas of the brain. These impulses help regulate abnormal brain activity, reducing symptoms associated with movement and neurological disorders. DBS is adjustable, reversible, and minimally invasive, making it a preferred treatment for patients who don’t respond well to medications.

Symptoms of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)
Parkinson’s Disease-

• Tremors: Persistent shaking of hands, arms, legs, or head, even when at rest.
• Rigidity: Stiffness in the muscles, making movement difficult.
• Bradykinesia: Slowness of movement, affecting daily activities like walking or writing.
• Postural Instability: Poor balance leading to frequent falls.
• Medication Side Effects: Involuntary movements (dyskinesia) caused by long-term use of Parkinson’s medications.

Essential Tremors-

• Uncontrolled Shaking: Involuntary tremors in hands, arms, or head, particularly noticeable during tasks like eating or writing.
• Progressive Tremors: Tremors that worsen over time and interfere with daily life.

Dystonia-

• Involuntary Muscle Contractions: Persistent or intermittent contractions causing twisting or repetitive movements.
• Abnormal Postures: Sustained posturing of a body part, such as the neck, hands, or feet.
• Pain and Discomfort: Due to prolonged muscle contractions.
