Deep Brain Stimulation in Chennai

Get help for movement disorders using DBS therapy that manages tremors & quality of life, Chennai.

Advanced DBS Therapy for Parkinson's & Movement Disorders

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a special treatment for brain problems like Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia. It sends small electrical signals to parts of the brain that control movement. This helps fix symptoms and improve how the body works. At Chennai Neuroscience Foundation, we do a full check-up before suggesting DBS. This includes brain scans, nerve tests, and looking at your health history. We review each case carefully to make sure DBS is the best option for you.

DBS surgery uses advanced tools and real-time brain maps to place tiny wires in the right spots. We don't just stop at surgery. We also help with recovery, therapy, and long-term care. This full approach helps patients get back control of their body and live a better life. It's a very exact and helpful treatment.

Neurological Conditions Managed by Deep Brain Stimulation

Parkinson’s Disease

DBS is beneficial in decreasing the motor symptoms, including tremors, rigidity, and slowness. It has the benefit of promoting daily functioning and quality of life in most patients with Parkinson's who gain control and improvement of movement.

Essential Tremor

The DBS is a great relief to patients who have the essential tremor but are not controlled by the medicine, thus helping them to stabilize involuntary shaking of the hands and arms, allowing them to coordinate and execute tasks more easily.

Dystonia

In more chronic dystonia, in which the problems are manifested by contractile muscles and anomalous positions and movements, DBS helps to settle the muscle stiffness and correct postures, which leads to a decrease in discomfort and disability.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

In people with debilitating, non-responsive OCD, DBS is aimed at the part of the brain that deals with the obsessive thoughts and compulsive actions and aids in breaking these patterns and managing the new state of wellness in the mind.

Epilepsy

With drug-resistant epilepsy, seizure severity and frequency decline in some patients as a result of DBS, which, subsequently, helps with safety and quality of life.

Tourette’s Syndrome

In severe cases of Tourette syndrome, deep brain stimulation helps reduce how often the tics happen and gives better control over the symptoms caused by the condition.

Life After DBS: What to Expect

Initial recovery period and hospital discharge timeline
First programming session after wound healing
Regular follow-up visits for device adjustments
Gradual improvement in motor symptoms or psychiatric stability
Supportive physiotherapy and speech therapy if needed

Monitoring side effects or changes in response
Lifestyle adjustments and daily activity improvements
Long-term device checks and battery maintenance
Emotional and mental health support throughout recovery

Step-by-Step Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery Guide

Electrode Implantation

We place thin electrodes into specific brain areas that control movement or behavior. Using real-time brain imaging and mapping, we position each DBS electrode to accurately target circuits causing neurological symptoms without damaging healthy brain tissue.

IPG (Battery) Placement

We connect the brain electrodes to an Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG) placed under the chest skin. The IPG battery sends electrical signals to regulate abnormal brain activity and reduce symptoms in conditions like Parkinson’s disease and dystonia.

Programming and Adjustment Sessions

After recovery, we fine-tune the DBS settings using a wireless device during outpatient visits. We adjust stimulation levels to balance symptom relief with comfort while tracking progress in movement disorders or neuropsychiatric conditions.

DBS Candidate Evaluation with Brain Imaging & Testing

Neurological Evaluation

We assess motor symptoms, movement disorders, and brain signals to determine if DBS can reduce tremors, stiffness, or involuntary movements safely.

Psychiatric Screening

Our specialists check mental health conditions to ensure that DBS does not worsen anxiety, depression, or emotional health during or after surgery.

Imaging Tests

We use high-resolution MRI or CT scans to locate brain targets and confirm safe pathways for precise electrode implantation during surgery.

Medication Response Tracking

We monitor how symptoms respond to medication over time to confirm if DBS offers better control than drug-based treatment alone provides.

Common Questions About Deep Brain Stimulation Therapy

Patients with Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, or dystonia who respond to medications but need better symptom control may qualify.

DBS does not cure neurological conditions but helps manage symptoms like tremors, stiffness, and slowed movements effectively.

With accurate imaging, mapping, and monitoring, DBS is a very safe procedure with a low risk of major complications.

Most patients are monitored briefly in the hospital and begin follow-ups to adjust device settings for symptom relief.

Yes, but the dosage may be reduced. DBS often allows patients to use fewer medications while maintaining symptom control.
