Deep Brain Stimulation
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a surgical procedure used to treat neurological disorders by delivering electrical pulses to specific areas of the brain via implanted electrodes. It is used to treat movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia, as well as psychiatric disorders such as major depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. DBS helps to reduce the symptoms of these disorders by suppressing abnormal brain activity and restoring normal functions. This procedure has been shown to be very effective in improving quality of life for those affected by these conditions. Moreover, DBS is relatively safe with minimal risks and side effects.
