Визначення та Значення "deep brain stimulation"

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.
