Deep Brain Stimulation works by delivering electrical stimulation to carefully selected regions involved in abnormal neurological activity. It is most commonly associated with the treatment of Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia, although its use depends on the specific condition and clinical circumstances. The treatment generally involves implanting one or more electrodes in the brain and connecting them to a pulse generator through extension wires. Before implantation, specialists assess symptoms, medication response, cognitive function, and overall health to determine whether DBS is appropriate.
