Deep Brain Stimulation Procedure
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Procedure at Brain & Spine Care Clinic – Dr. Deepak KumarLocated at Sector 15, GurgaonWhat is Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)?Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is an advanced neurosurgical procedure that involves implanting a small device (similar to a pacemaker) that sends electrical impulses to specific areas of the brain. This procedure is primarily used to treat neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, dystonia, and other movement disorders. By regulating abnormal brain activity, DBS helps reduce symptoms, improve motor function, and enhance the quality of life for patients.At Brain & Spine Care Clinic, under the expert guidance of Dr. Deepak Kumar, a leading Neurosurgeon with over 26 years of experience, we offer Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) as a cutting-edge treatment option for patients dealing with neurological disorders. Our clinic in Sector 15, Gurgaon is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and experienced specialists to ensure that DBS is performed safely and effectively.Conditions Treated with Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)DBS is particularly effective in treating the following conditions:Parkinson’s Disease: For patients with Parkinson’s who experience severe motor symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), and postural instability that do not respond to medication.Essential Tremor: A common neurological condition causing uncontrollable shaking, particularly in the hands, which can significantly impact daily activities.Dystonia: A movement disorder characterized by abnormal muscle contractions causing twisting, repetitive movements, and postures.Obsesive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): In some cases, DBS has been used to help manage treatment-resistant OCD.Epilepsy: For patients whose seizures cannot be controlled by medications and other treatments.Other Movement Disorders: DBS can be used to manage other movement disorders that do not respond to traditional treatments.Why Choose Brain & Spine Care Clinic for DBS Treatment?Expertise of Dr. Deepak Kumar:Dr. Deepak Kumar is a renowned Neurosurgeon with extensive experience in performing Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgeries. His skill and knowledge ensure that patients receive the best possible care and treatment tailored to their specific needs.Cutting-Edge Technology:Our clinic is equipped with the latest imaging and surgical technologies required for precise implantation of DBS devices. This ensures that the stimulation is targeted accurately to the brain areas involved in the condition.Personalized Treatment:We understand that every patient is unique. Dr. Kumar provides a personalized treatment plan based on the individual’s medical history, symptoms, and response to previous treatments, ensuring optimal results from the DBS procedure.Comprehensive Care:At Brain & Spine Care Clinic, we take a holistic approach to treatment. Along with DBS surgery, we offer ongoing monitoring, adjustments to the DBS device, and rehabilitation programs to help patients recover fully and achieve the best possible outcome.Minimally Invasive Procedure:DBS is a minimally invasive procedure that involves small incisions and generally leads to a faster recovery time than traditional brain surgeries.How Does the Deep Brain Stimulation Procedure Work?Pre-Procedure Evaluation:Before proceeding with the DBS procedure, Dr. Deepak Kumar will conduct a thorough evaluation, including a review of your medical history, symptoms, and previous treatments. Imaging tests like MRI or CT scans are often performed to identify the specific brain regions responsible for the symptoms.Implantation of the DBS Device:The DBS procedure typically takes place in two stages:Stage 1 - Lead Implantation:During the first stage, small electrodes (leads) are implanted into the targeted areas of the brain. This is done under local anesthesia, and the patient is awake during the procedure. This allows the surgeon to confirm correct placement of the electrodes by stimulating the brain and assessing the patient's response. The leads are then connected to a neurostimulator (a small pulse generator), which will be implanted under the skin near the collarbone or chest.Stage 2 - Neurostimulator Implantation:In the second stage, the neurostimulator device is implanted under the skin in the chest or abdomen. The neurostimulator sends electrical impulses to the brain through the leads. The device is connected to the electrodes, and it can be adjusted externally to optimize the stimulation based on the patient’s needs.Post-Procedure Programming and Monitoring:After implantation, Dr. Kumar will schedule follow-up visits to adjust the settings of the neurostimulator. The device is programmed using an external device that communicates with the implanted stimulator. Adjustments are made to optimize the therapeutic effects while minimizing side effects.Recovery and Follow-Up:DBS is a minimally invasive procedure, and most patients experience only a short hospital stay and a relatively quick recovery time. During the follow-up appointments, the stimulation parameters will be adjusted as necessary. The goal is to maximize symptom relief while ensuring the patient's comfort and safety.Benefits of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)Improved Motor Function: DBS can significantly reduce symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia (slow movement), improving the ability to perform everyday activities.Reduced Medication Dependency: Many patients experience a reduction in their need for medications, which can reduce side effects associated with long-term drug use.Improved Quality of Life: By reducing symptoms and improving motor function, DBS allows patients to regain independence and participate more fully in daily activities.Minimally Invasive: The procedure involves small incisions and is associated with a quicker recovery time compared to traditional surgeries.Reversible and Adjustable: The effects of DBS can be adjusted over time, and the device can be turned off or removed if necessary.Why Choose Dr. Deepak Kumar for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Surgery?Expertise in Neurological Conditions: Dr. Deepak Kumar is a highly experienced Neurosurgeon specializing in treating complex neurological conditions, including Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, dystonia, and other movement disorders.Personalized Care: Dr. Kumar takes a patient-centered approach, customizing the DBS procedure based on the patient's unique condition and needs.Comprehensive Follow-up Care: Our clinic offers continuous monitoring and follow-up appointments to ensure that the DBS device is functioning optimally and to make adjustments as needed.Advanced Techniques: We utilize the latest technology for precise placement of the DBS electrodes and optimal outcomes for patients.Contact Us for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) TreatmentIf you or a loved one is living with a neurological disorder such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, or dystonia, and you’re looking for a solution to better manage symptoms, Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) may be the right treatment for you.
