At Medicana Avcilar, Deep Brain Stimulation is performed using advanced stereotactic navigation, brain imaging, and individualized treatment planning. Established in 1995, this JCI accredited hospital in Istanbul, Turkey has 63 beds and offers specialized neurology, neurosurgery, and rehabilitation services.

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) may be considered when disabling neurological symptoms continue despite appropriate medical treatment or when medication causes troublesome fluctuations or side effects. During the procedure, electrodes are precisely positioned within a selected brain target and connected to an implanted neurostimulator. After surgical recovery, the stimulation settings are programmed and adjusted over time according to the patient's symptoms and response. DBS does not cure the underlying neurological disorder but can help reduce certain motor symptoms in appropriately selected patients.
