Deep Brain Stimulation in Wockhardt Hospital, Umrao : Cost & Doctors

The neurology department at Wockhardt Hospital provides deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy, which involves implanting electrodes or leads within specific brain regions. These electrodes produce specific electrical impulses that either control abnormal impulses or have an effect on specific substances and brain cells. Deep brain stimulation therapy aids in the treatment of neurological diseases caused by abnormal electrical signals, such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, dystonia, essential tremor, and Alzheimer's disease.

Physical examination, blood and urine tests, CT scans and MRI scans, electroencephalography, neuropsychological evaluation, and Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (YBOC) testing are used to make the DBS diagnosis. MRI and CT scans are used to determine which areas of the brain require electrode placement. The electrode wires are in contact with neurotransmitters implanted at the collarbone during the procedure, which is sometimes performed under general anesthesia. It is considered a minimally invasive procedure. Dr. Kant Jogani is a neurology specialist affiliated with Wockhardt Hospital.
