AIIMS Hosts India’s First DBS Workshop

AIIMS Hosts India’s First DBS Workshop

AIIMS in New Delhi is hosting a special workshop to teach doctors about a treatment called Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease.

Parkinson’s is a condition where brain cells that make dopamine die, causing problems like tremors and stiffness.

DBS is a treatment that helps improve these symptoms.

The workshop, which runs from December 19 to 20, is the first of its kind in India and is supported by an international society.

Over 200 doctors and experts from across the country are attending to learn about the latest techniques in DBS.

The goal is to make sure more doctors in India can provide this advanced treatment to patients who need it.
