Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

Overview

Deep Brain Stimulation is a neurosurgical procedure that implants electrodes in specific brain regions to deliver electrical impulses that regulate abnormal brain activity, effectively treating movement disorders and certain neurological conditions.

A neurosurgical procedure where electrodes are implanted in specific areas of the brain to regulate abnormal brain activity. Applications include conditions like Parkinson's disease, dystonia, and epilepsy.
