How it works?

Deep Brain Stimulation is a type of neurological surgery that involves implanting thin wires (electrodes) into specific areas of the brain through several stages. The electrodes are connected to a ‘Neurostimulator’ (a small device) that is implanted under the skin of the chest, close to the collarbone. After the wound is healed, the Neurostimulator is turned on, and programming is done over time. The system works like a pacemaker for the brain. The electrical impulses emitted by the electrodes are controlled to help in regulating abnormal brain activity and normalising brain function. Deep Brain Stimulation is a long-term and flexible solution.
