DBS is like a pacemaker for the brain. It is a surgical therapy that involves implanting thin stimulation electrodes (wires) into the brain. The wires target areas of the brain that control motor function. An adjustable pulse generator in the chest sends pulses through the electrodes. These electrodes normalize brain activity and improve motor symptoms.
Deep brain simulation involves several appointments and evaluations. To learn more about deep brain stimulation, visit our treatments and services page.
