What is a "deep brain stimulation"?

A deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a medical treatment where small wires are placed into specific areas of the brain. These wires deliver small electrical signals that help control abnormal brain activity, commonly used to lessen symptoms of movement disorders like Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia. The procedure aims to improve movement functions and quality of life for patients who have not responded well to medication alone.

Example

Deep brain stimulation has shown promising results in reducing the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, allowing patients to regain better control over their movements.

Hluboká mozková stimulace ukázala slibné výsledky v redukci symptomů Parkinsonovy choroby, což umožňuje pacientům získat lepší kontrolu nad svými pohyby.

The neurosurgeon explained that deep brain stimulation involves implanting electrodes in specific areas of the brain to modulate abnormal activity.

Neurosurgeon vysvětlil, že hluboká mozková stimulace zahrnuje implantaci elektrod do specifických oblastí mozku za účelem modulace abnormální aktivity.
