Know the Basics -
Understanding Deep Brain Stimulation
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is an advanced neurosurgical treatment that uses carefully placed electrodes within specific areas of the brain to regulate abnormal electrical activity.
These electrodes are connected to a small device implanted under the skin, which delivers controlled electrical signals to targeted brain regions. The therapy helps manage symptoms associated with certain neurological disorders and movement disorders.
DBS does not cure the underlying condition, but it can significantly improve symptom control and daily functioning in suitable patients.
Conditions That May Benefit from Deep Brain Stimulation
Parkinson’s Disease
A progressive neurological disorder that affects movement, balance, and muscle control.
Essential Tremor
A condition characterized by involuntary shaking that commonly affects the hands and arms.
Dystonia
A neurological disorder that causes abnormal muscle contractions and repetitive movements.
Selected Movement Disorders
Certain complex movement-related neurological conditions may benefit from DBS therapy.
Know the Warning Signs
Patients with movement disorders often experience symptoms that gradually interfere with work, daily routines, and independence.
- Tremors or shaking
- Muscle stiffness
- Slowed movements
- Difficulty walking
- Balance problems
- Involuntary muscle movements
- Reduced coordination
- Difficulty performing daily activities
Causes & Risk Factors of Movement Disorders
Movement disorders often develop due to abnormalities in specific brain circuits responsible for controlling movement and coordination.
Deep Brain Stimulation Evaluation & Diagnosis
A thorough neurological assessment is essential before considering DBS treatment. Not every patient with a movement disorder is a candidate for the procedure.
Dr. Kalpesh Shah performs a comprehensive evaluation to determine whether DBS is an appropriate treatment option based on symptoms, disease progression, and treatment goals.
Diagnostic Tests May Include:
CT Scan
MRI Brain
Movement Disorder Assessment
Functional Brain Imaging
Comprehensive Medical Evaluation
