Our DBS Process
The Deep Brain Stimulation process involves several key steps, for comprehensive treatment solutions:
A thorough evaluation of your medical history and neurological assessment to determine if DBS is the right option for you.
Comprehensive tests, including imaging studies and psychological assessments, to ensure you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.
The DBS procedure involves implanting electrodes in specific areas of the brain. This is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes a few hours.
After recovery, our specialists will program the device to deliver electrical impulses that help alleviate symptoms.
Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress and adjust settings as needed.
