Deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease and Dystonia
Book Your Consultation
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an advanced treatment for selected patients with Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, and other movement disorders. Dr. Aneel Kumar P performs DBS by placing thin electrodes in specific areas of the brain and connecting them to an implanted pulse generator. Carefully programmed electrical stimulation helps regulate abnormal brain activity associated with movement symptoms. DBS may help reduce tremor, stiffness, slowness, involuntary movements, and dystonia in appropriate patients, potentially improving mobility and daily functioning.
- Precise brain targeting
- Programmable electrical stimulation
- Personalized symptom management
- Long-term treatment flexibility
Comprehensive, precision-focused brain tumor treatments combining advanced technology, surgical expertise, and personalized care for safer outcomes.
Dr. Aneel Kumar P uses advanced imaging and functional targeting to accurately place stimulation electrodes in brain regions involved in movement control.
Dr. Aneel Kumar P provides advanced deep brain stimulation focused on precisely targeting brain regions involved in movement control. His approach emphasizes accurate electrode placement, personalized stimulation programming, symptom management, and improved functional outcomes.
The surgical procedure is performed with appropriate anesthesia and pain management. Some discomfort may occur during recovery.
DBS does not cure Parkinson’s disease, but it can significantly improve certain movement symptoms in appropriately selected patients.
DBS can be an effective treatment option for selected patients with certain forms of dystonia, particularly when symptoms are not adequately controlled with medication.
The duration varies depending on the surgical approach, number of electrodes, device placement, and individual patient requirements.
Some symptoms may improve soon after stimulation is activated, while optimal results often require several programming sessions and adjustments.
