Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a cutting-edge neurosurgical procedure that offers hope to individuals living with treatment-resistant neurological and psychiatric conditions. DBS involves the implantation of electrodes into specific areas of the brain, which are then connected to a neurostimulator device placed under the skin near the collarbone. This device delivers electrical impulses to modulate abnormal brain activity and alleviate symptoms.

DBS has shown remarkable efficacy in treating conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, dystonia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The procedure can significantly improve motor symptoms, reduce tremors, and enhance overall quality of life for individuals with movement disorders. In psychiatric applications, DBS has demonstrated promising results in reducing symptoms of OCD, depression, and other mood disorders in patients who have not responded to traditional treatments.

At our clinic, we offer comprehensive evaluation, surgical implantation, and programming of DBS devices in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of neurologists, neurosurgeons, and psychiatrists. Our experienced specialists work closely with each patient to determine candidacy for DBS and tailor treatment plans to meet individual needs. DBS represents a remarkable advancement in the field of neuromodulation, offering new possibilities for symptom relief and improved functioning in individuals with complex neurological and psychiatric conditions. If you or a loved one is struggling with treatment-resistant neurological or psychiatric symptoms, DBS may offer a path to renewed hope and a better quality of life.
