Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Surgery
What is Deep Brain Stimulation?
Deep Brain Stimulation, or DBS, is a new type of neurosurgery that is used to treat some neurological movement problems. A small device, similar to a pacemaker, is implanted and gives mild electrical signals to certain parts of the brain. This helps control the abnormal signals that cause tremors, stiffness, and other symptoms.
There is no damage to brain tissue during DBS, and it can be undone. This makes it a safe and effective treatment choice when medications no longer work.
Conditions Treated with DBS
DBS is most commonly used to treat:
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Essential Tremor
- Dystonia
- Epilepsy
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) (in select cases)
How DBS Works
- Thin wires called electrodes are surgically placed in targeted areas of the brain.
- These wires are connected to a small battery-operated device (neurostimulator) implanted under the skin near the chest or abdomen.
- The device sends continuous electrical impulses that help regulate brain activity, improving symptoms.
Benefits of Deep Brain Stimulation
- Reduces tremors, stiffness, and slowness
- Improves movement and quality of life
- Allows for lower medication doses, reducing side effects
- Reversible and adjustable — settings can be fine-tuned over time
- Long-term improvement in symptoms in many patients
What to Expect
- DBS is done in two stages: electrode placement in the brain, followed by neurostimulator implantation.
- The patient may be awake during part of the brain surgery to help map the brain accurately.
- Most patients return home in a few days and begin seeing results within weeks.
- Follow-up programming and adjustments are made to fine-tune the device settings.
