Deep brain stimulation (DBS) can be used to treat symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, stiffness, slowed movement, and walking difficulties at Apollo.

Essential tremor, a common neurological movement disorder, is also treated with the procedure. By destroying nerve cells, DBS does not harm healthy brain tissue. Instead, the procedure disables electrical signals from specific areas of the brain. DBS works by sending electrical signals to the brain. DBS can reduce tremors and significantly improve slowness and stiffness in people with Parkinson's disease, as well as make tremors disappear in people with ET. For those suffering from dystonia, DBS can help relax muscles and improve abnormal postures caused by muscle contractions. In all cases, DBS can help to improve one's quality of life.
