Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)
Deep BrainStimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical technique utilizing implanted electrodes
and a pulse generator to alleviate symptoms of conditions like Parkinson'sdisease. By modulating specific brain areas, DBS can improve motor symptoms,
such as tremors and stiffness. While not a cure, it offers significant relief
for patients unresponsive to conventional treatments. DBS is adjustable and
reversible, allowing tailored therapy. As research progresses, its potential
applications may extend to other neurological disorders, showcasing its promise
as an evolving therapeutic intervention in neuroscience.
