At the Fortis Hospital, we offer world-class deep brain stimulation surgery for people with movement disorders. Our multidisciplinary team includes the expertise of world-renowned neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuropsychologists, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, specially trained nurses, and other specialists. Our doctors may use deep brain stimulation to treat people who have Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, OCD, essential tremor, epilepsy, and other chronic conditions that do not respond to medications and other therapies. Our specialists have deep expertise in making sure only the right patients get deep brain stimulation. Our specialists ensure that the treatment plan you receive at our DBS Center carefully balances the risk of surgical procedures in your specific situation, thereby preventing undergoing unnecessary treatment.

The Deep Brain Stimulation Center at Fortis Hospital, treats a range of movement disorder conditions, including Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, dystonia, essential tremor, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), Huntington's disease, Tourette syndrome (TS), and chronic conditions.

No, DBS is not a cure for PD. It is a treatment that helps relieve the motor symptoms of PD, as well as some of the non-motor symptoms. It is called a symptomatic therapy; it does not change disease progression.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical procedure involving the placement of a medical device called a neurostimulator, which sends electrical impulses, through implanted electrodes, to specific targets in the brain (the brain nucleus) for the treatment of movement disorders, including Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia

The connections in the brain circuits are similar to the electrical wiring in your house or car. If one circuit malfunctions, it can disrupt the entire system. Research has shown that in PD there are faulty signals in several brain circuits. These faulty or disruptive signals seem to underpin many of the symptoms of PD (e.g., slowed movement, tremor, and stiffness). When electricity is introduced into the circuit it “disrupts the disruption,” restoring order and improving disabling symptoms. The electric current is thought to inhibit cell firing, excite the axons (the pipes), and release calcium from brain cells called astrocytes. Calcium seems to trigger a series of reactions that leads to the release of chemicals called neurotransmitters and the stimulation of blood flow

DBS can help improve the motor symptoms of PD. Typically, these are: Tremor. Complete or partial tremor suppression Rigidity, or stiffness Bradykinesia, or slowness of movement

It is recommended for people who have PD with motor fluctuations and tremor inadequately controlled by medication, or to those who are intolerant to medication, as long as they do not have severe neuropsychiatric problems. Selection of the correct DBS target is a complicated process. Multiple clinical characteristics are used to select the target including – identifying the most troublesome symptoms, the dose of levodopa that the patient is currently taking, the effects and side-effects of current medications and concurrent problems.

The major complications include hemorrhage (1–2%) and infection (3–5%). The potential exists for neuropsychiatric side effects after DBS, including apathy, hallucinations, hypersexuality, cognitive dysfunction, depression, and euphoria

Fortis Hospital is at the forefront of cutting-edge deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedures, offering a lifeline to individuals battling Parkinson's and related movement disorders. Our collaborative team, featuring esteemed neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuropsychologists, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, specialized nurses, and a cadre of experts, is dedicated to transforming lives. Our advanced DBS therapies are designed for a range of conditions, including Parkinson's disease, dystonia, OCD, essential tremor, epilepsy, and other chronic ailments resistant to traditional pharmaceuticals and therapies. Our hallmark lies in the meticulous selection of patients who are the most appropriate candidates for DBS. At our DBS Center, our specialists rigorously assess the unique risks and benefits inherent in each surgical procedure, customizing the treatment plan to address your specific Parkinson's disease needs. This personalized approach ensures that unnecessary treatments are avoided, delivering the most targeted and effective care possible.

The available treatment options for Parkinson's disease include medication, surgery, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and alternative or complementary therapies such as Deep Brain Stimulation.
