EXDeep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a treatment that helps people with Parkinson's disease by sending tiny electrical signals to specific parts of the brain.
In Parkinson's, the brain cells that control movement don't work properly, which can cause shaking, stiffness, and difficulty walking. DBS doesn't cure the disease, but it can help control these symptoms and make daily life easier.
The way it works is similar to how a pacemaker helps the heart. A small device, like a battery pack, is placed under the skin near the chest. Thin wires are connected to this device and run up into the brain.
The device sends small electrical pulses to the brain, which help fix the faulty signals that cause Parkinson's symptoms. Many people who receive DBS experience fewer tremors, improved movement, and more independence.
