Sarvodaya Hospital and Research Centre offer Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)for conditions like Parkinson's disease. The surgery is carried out in two parts, brain surgery, and chest surgery. Some of the diagnostic tests performed before a Deep Brain Stimulation at Sarvodaya Hospital and Research Centre (SHRC) include brain-imaging studies, such as an MRI, before the surgery. The diagnostic tests guide the surgeons to map the areas of the brain and implant the electrodes at the right location.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical procedure used at SHRC to treat a variety of neurological symptoms, most notably those associated with Parkinson's disease (PD), such as tremors, rigidity, stiffness, slowed movement, and walking difficulties. Essential tremor, a common neurological movement disorder, is also treated with the procedure. DBS does not harm healthy brain tissue. Instead, the procedure disables electrical signals from specific areas of the brain. For those suffering from dystonia, DBS can help relax muscles and improve abnormal postures caused by muscle contractions. Dr. Kamal Verma, Dr. Ritu Jha, and Dr. Gaurav Kesri are some of the faces of the neurology department at Sarvodaya Hospital and Research Centre.
