Why Choose ACIBADEM For
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)?

Deep brain stimulation is a new type of neurological treatment using electrical impulses to regulate brain activity. Acibadem is first in Turkiye and the region to apply the new treatment. This therapy uses a neurostimulator system to manage movement disorders. It targets brain circuits to better control and reduce physical symptoms. This makes the treatment more effective. The special electrode on the lead is made from a conductor and a stimulator. It lets the system reach specific brain areas. This helps it know the difference between healthy and abnormal brain signals.

Deep brain stimulation is a new hope for people with movement disorders. It uses precise electrical pulses to regulate the brain. This is a big change from old treatments. This therapy starts with a patient’s brain mapping. The settings are then changed to find and stop movement symptoms. It’s a way to boost the brain’s function to control body movements better. As scientists learn more, DBS therapy could change neurological treatment a lot. It gives hope to patients and their families. This article will explain how it works and its benefits.

After the system is implanted, it is programmed in the lab. This makes the device ready to fight movement disorders. Then, the electrical signals are given to the patient. The DBS leads look for specific circuits in the brain. When they find one, they block it. This starts a process that stops the tremors. This therapy can also provide long-term relief from symptoms. The stimulator stays in the body for a long time. They keep watching for and regulating any brain signals that might cause issues.

The field of neurosurgery has made big strides, thanks to deep brain stimulation. This new way to fight disorders, mainly movement conditions, comes from years of research and discoveries.

Deep Brain Stimulation Treatment Process

The surgical and programming process of DBS therapy is precise. It uses a neurostimulation system to regulate brain signals. Each step is vital for the treatment’s success.

 
Patient Selection and Preparation
Patients are carefully checked to see if they are candidates for DBS therapy. They go through neurological evaluations, brain imaging, and motor tests. If they are a good match, detailed brain maps are created to target the exact stimulation areas.
Surgical Lead Placement
The patient is then taken to surgery for electrode placement. Advanced navigation systems are used to insert thin leads into specific brain regions. These leads help the device regulate and balance neural signals. The system is tested during surgery to ensure the best symptom control.
Programming and Monitoring
After the device is implanted and healed, the patient receives initial programming. This helps the stimulation work better for their specific needs. The system then goes after movement symptoms. Patients are watched closely for several months to adjust settings and monitor their progress.

Deep Brain Stimulation Success Stories

Deep brain stimulation has brought hope to many patients with movement disorders. It uses precise electrical impulses to regulate the brain. This makes it a targeted and personalized neurological approach.

Robert, a middle-aged man, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at forty-five. He tried many medications but the tremors became uncontrollable. Then, DBS therapy was his last hope. It worked amazingly well, and he has been living an active, tremor-free life for over a decade.

Sarah was diagnosed with essential tremor in 1998. She tried many treatments but nothing helped her perform daily tasks. In 2012, she underwent a DBS procedure. It stabilized her movements and kept the symptoms away for over ten years. Sarah is now able to enjoy her hobbies again and supports this treatment.

These stories show how DBS therapy has changed lives. As research improves, we’ll hear more stories of hope and victory over neurological disorders.

Fequently Asked Questions

What is Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)?
Deep brain stimulation is a way to treat movement disorders. It uses a medical device to send electrical signals to specific areas of the brain. This treatment is made by placing electrodes to target symptoms, making it a personalized fight against neurological issues.
Deep brain stimulation works by delivering precise electrical pulses to specific areas of the brain. These pulses regulate abnormal signals that cause movement problems. A small device, called a neurostimulator, sends these signals through thin wires to the brain. It acts like a pacemaker for the brain to restore normal movement.
DBS therapy is mainly used to treat movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor. It is also effective for patients with dystonia, which causes involuntary muscle contractions. This treatment is a great option for those whose symptoms are no longer controlled by medication alone.
The main benefit of DBS is providing more stable and continuous symptom control than medications. While drugs can wear off between doses, DBS works 24 hours a day to reduce tremors and stiffness. It also helps reduce the side effects caused by high doses of traditional medicines, allowing for a better quality of life.
