What is Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)?

Implantation of electrodes in specific brain regions to deliver electrical impulses, used to treat movement disorders like Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia.

What type of anesthesia is used?

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is typically performed under Local/General anesthesia. Your anaesthetist will review your health history, medications, and allergies before the procedure to ensure safety.

What is the recovery time?

Most patients recover within 4–6 weeks, though this varies by individual health, age, and compliance with physiotherapy. Light activities can usually resume within a few weeks; full recovery takes longer.

What are the risks of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)?

As with any surgical procedure, risks include bleeding, infection, anaesthesia reactions, and rare complications such as injury to adjacent structures. Your surgeon will discuss your personal risk profile during the consent process.

What is the success rate of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)?

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has a documented success rate of 85% when performed by qualified surgeons at accredited hospitals. Outcomes depend on the patient's overall health, disease severity, and adherence to post-operative care.
