Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Zulekha Hospital Dubai provides specialized Deep Brain Stimulation with a focus on accurate patient selection, precise electrode placement, and individualized stimulation management. Established in 2004, the JCI accredited hospital is located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and operates 179 beds with modern neurotechnology and neurosurgical infrastructure.
Deep Brain Stimulation may provide symptom relief for carefully selected patients with movement disorders that remain disabling despite medication and other conservative approaches. Before treatment, a multidisciplinary team evaluates the patient's neurological symptoms, response to medicines, cognitive status, and imaging findings. During surgery, electrodes are placed in specific brain structures using stereotactic guidance, and the electrodes are connected to an implanted pulse generator. Following recovery, specialists gradually program the device to balance symptom control and potential side effects. Long-term follow-up is important for adjusting stimulation settings and managing the underlying condition.
Sharjah, United Arab Emirates
Zulekha Hospital Sharjah offers advanced Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Treatment using modern neurosurgical techniques and precise brain-targeting technology. Established in 1992, the JCI accredited hospital is located in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates and has 185 beds, providing comprehensive neurological and neurosurgical care for local and international patients.
Deep Brain Stimulation is a neurosurgical treatment in which thin electrodes are implanted in specific areas of the brain and connected to a pulse generator placed under the skin, usually near the chest. The system delivers controlled electrical impulses to modify abnormal brain activity. DBS is commonly used for selected patients with movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia when symptoms are not adequately controlled with medication. Detailed neurological assessment and brain imaging are performed before surgery to identify suitable candidates and plan electrode placement.

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a surgical procedure that involves the implantation of electrodes in specific areas of the brain to deliver electrical impulses. During the procedure, thin wires called leads are placed in precise brain regions, and a device known as a neurostimulator is implanted under the skin in the chest or abdomen. The neurostimulator sends electrical signals to the targeted brain areas, modulating abnormal brain activity and helping to relieve symptoms.
Deep Brain Stimulation is primarily used to treat movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia. It can also be beneficial for certain psychiatric conditions like obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and Tourette syndrome. In these conditions, DBS helps to regulate and modulate abnormal brain activity, reducing symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, involuntary movements, and obsessive or compulsive behaviors.
The recovery process after Deep Brain Stimulation can vary depending on individual factors and the specific condition being treated. Typically, patients will need some time to adjust to the presence of the implanted device and may experience temporary discomfort or soreness at the surgical sites. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy may be recommended to help regain movement, coordination, and speech abilities. Regular follow-up visits with the healthcare team are recommended. Overall, it may take around a month for the patient to adjust to normal life after the procedure.
