Deep Brain Stimulation or DBS as it is commonly called is a surgical treatment for people with certain types of Parkinson’s. It greatly helps in significantly improving the movement ability.

Deep brain stimulation helps control movement symptoms of Parkinson’s –

•  tremor
• slowed movement
• stiffness

When medications aren’t as effective as they used to be and your symptoms make everyday life a challenge, DBS may help.

Deep brain stimulation uses a small, pacemaker like device, placed under the skin of the chest, to send electronic signals to an area in the brain that controls movement. Deep brain stimulation has helped some people stay as independent as possible and keep doing the activities they love.

Symptom control may help you continue to do what’s important to you, like taking care of family or continuing to work. Or participate more fully in an event like a vacation or a family wedding.
