Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is available at Apollo Hospitals Bannerghatta for conditions that impair the functioning of your neurons. DBS is used to treat conditions such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, dystonia, essential tremor, and obsessive compulsive disorder(OCD) in Apollo. Before DBS, detailed MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and CT (Computer Tomography) scans of the brain are performed. These scans will assist your doctor in determining the best location for the DBS wires.

DBS entails implanting electrodes within the brain that generate electrical impulses, thereby regulating abnormal impulses. These generated electrical impulses can affect specific cells and chemicals in the brain, assisting in medical conditions. Because of the multidisciplinary activities carried out at the Apollo Hospitals in Karnataka, Deep Brain Stimulation necessitates close collaboration between neurologists and neurosurgeons for effective results. To safely and precisely identify the right candidate for DBS, it is performed in a specially trained clinic setting. The advantages of this surgery include an improvement in Parkinson's disease(Progressive Disorder) motor symptoms . Dr Gurucharan Adoor, Dr Jagadish B Agadi, and Dr Karthik Nagaraj are the neurosurgeons at Apollo Hospitals Bannerghatta.
