Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a treatment option at Apollo Hospitals for conditions that impair neuron function. In Apollo, deep brain stimulation (DBS) is used to treat conditions such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, dystonia, essential tremor, and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Detailed MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and CT (Computer Tomography) scans of the brain are performed prior to DBS. These scans will help your doctor decide where to place the DBS wires.

DBS involves implanting electrodes within the brain that generate electrical impulses, allowing abnormal impulses to be regulated. These electrical impulses can affect specific cells and chemicals in the brain, which can help with medical conditions. Deep Brain Stimulation requires close collaboration between neurologists and neurosurgeons due to the multidisciplinary activities performed at the Apollo Hospitals for effective results. It is performed in a specially trained clinic setting to safely and precisely identify the right candidate for DBS. One of the benefits of this surgery is that it improves the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (Progressive Disorder). Dr C Rajesh Reddy, Dr Madhuri Khilari, and Dr Sandeep Nayani are the neurosurgeons at Apollo Hospitals.
