Deep Brain Stimulation

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical treatment which stimulates the brain with mild electrical signals. The signals reorganize the brain's electrical impulses, causing improvements in symptoms in a number of conditions affecting the brain.

Deep brain stimulation is used to treat disorders such as essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, dystonia, and cluster headaches. Deep brain stimulation has dramatically changed the lives of many patients with uncontrollable tremors. Patients often can resume normal activities, such as feeding and dressing themselves, and can have active and fulfilling lives. The need for anti-tremor medications is often reduced or eliminated.
