a surgical procedure to implant electrodes in the brain to treat movement disorders like Parkinson's disease
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.
Djup hjärnstimulering har visat lovande resultat i att minska symptomen på Parkinsons sjukdom, vilket gör att patienter kan återfå bättre kontroll över sina rörelser.
The neurosurgeon explained that deep brain stimulation involves implanting electrodes in specific areas of the brain to modulate abnormal activity.
Neurokirurgen förklarade att djup hjärnstimulering innebär att man implanterar elektroder i specifika områden av hjärnan för att modulera onormal aktivitet.
