Overview

Deep brain stimulation is a surgical procedure that may help people with some neurological disorders, including Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, epilepsy, and dystonia, a movement disorder where muscles contract and spasm.

Scientists are also looking at how it may help people with addiction, multiple sclerosis, Tourette syndrome, major depression, plus a wide range of other conditions.

In deep brain stimulation (DBS), a surgeon places a device under a person's skin. The device sends out electrical impulses to specific parts of the brain. The pulses can block abnormal signals that underlie several neurological conditions.

Deep Brain Stimulation works well for some people but not for all, and there may be a few adverse effects. A newer technology, known as adaptive DBS, shows promise for reducing some of the problems that occur with Deep Brain Stimulation.

What is Deep Brain Stimulation?

Deep Brain Stimulation surgery involves placing a thin metal electrode (about the diameter of a piece of spaghetti) into one of several possible brain targets and attaching it to a computerized pulse generator, which is implanted under the skin in the chest below the collarbone. All parts of the stimulator system are internal; there are no wires coming out through the skin. A programming computer held next to the skin over the pulse generator is used during routine office visits to adjust the settings for optimal symptom control. Unlike older lesioning procedures or gamma knife radiosurgery, DBS does not destroy brain tissue. Instead, it reversibly alters the abnormal function of the brain tissue in the region of the stimulating electrode. It is important to note that DBS therapy may demand considerable time and patience before its effects are optimized.

How does it work?

• Deep Brain Stimulation changes brain activity in a controlled way and its effects are reversible.
• Deep Brain Stimulation may help the brain to release more adenosine triphosphate (ATP), an energy-carrying molecule that occurs in the cells of all living things. This release of ATP leads to a buildup of adenosine.
• Activating the adenosine A1 receptor triggers a process that reduces both tremor and any adverse effects that DBS may cause. This works because the process dampens excitatory transmission in the thalamus.
• The Deep Brain Stimulation procedure does not destroy any nerve cells or healthy brain tissue, but there can be some adverse effects.

Who is a candidate?

You may be a candidate for Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery in India if you have:

• A movement disorder with worsening symptoms (tremor, stiffness) and your medications have begun to lose effectiveness.
• Troubling "off" periods when your medication wears off before the next dose can be taken.
• Troubling "on" periods when you develop medication-induced dyskinesias (excessive wiggling of the torso, head, and/or limbs).

Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery may not be an option if you have severe untreated depression, advanced dementia, or if you have symptoms that are not typical for Parkinson's.

Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery in India can help treat many of the symptoms caused by the following movement disorders:

• Parkinson's disease: tremor, rigidity, and slowness of movement caused by the death of dopamine-producing nerve cells responsible for relaying messages that control body movement.
• Essential tremor: involuntary rhythmic tremors of the hands and arms, occurring both at rest and during purposeful movement. Also may affect the head in a "no-no" motion.
• Dystonia: involuntary movements and prolonged muscle contraction, resulting in twisting or writhing body motions, tremor, and abnormal posture. May involve the entire body, or only an isolated area. Spasms can often be suppressed by "sensory tricks," such as touching the face, eyebrows, or hands.

A team of specialists including a neurologist, neuropsychologist, and neurosurgeon will evaluate your condition to determine if surgery is an option. Your thinking and memory, current medications, and general health will be evaluated. You will be videotaped performing a variety of movements (walking, finger tap, rising from a chair) while on and off medication. Your symptoms and abilities are measured using the Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS).

After your evaluation and videotaping is complete, your case will be discussed at a conference with multiple physicians, nurses, and surgeons. The team discusses the best treatment plan for each patient. If the team agrees that you are a good candidate for Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery in India, you will be contacted to schedule an appointment with a neurosurgeon.
