DBS Surgery for Parkinson’s Disease Performed Successfully
Doctors at Yashoda Hospitals have successfully performed a special surgery called Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) to help people with Parkinson’s disease.
Parkinson’s is a condition that affects how people move and can get worse over time.
Medicines help at first, but after a few years, they may not work as well.
DBS is a treatment where a tiny electrode is placed in the brain and connected to a small device in the chest.
This helps reduce shaking, stiffness, and problems with walking and balance.
Two patients who had this surgery are now doing well and living normal lives.
The surgery is approved by important health organizations and is a good option when medicines aren’t enough.
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgeries for Parkinson’s disease were successfully performed at Yashoda Hospitals.
Parkinson’s disease is a lifelong disorder similar to BP and diabetes, with medication effectiveness reducing over time.
DBS is an advanced treatment approved by FDA and DCGI, becoming a viable option when medicines are less effective.
The procedure involves placing an electrode in the brain and connecting it to a device implanted in the chest.
Two patients who underwent DBS surgery are now healthy and leading normal lives.
