Patient Guide

Dystonia is a neurological disorder that causes involuntary contractions that affect movement. Deep brain stimulation can be used to control movement coordination.

Parkinson's disease is a chronic neurological disorder that affects movement due to a lack of dopamine in the brain, causing tremors, stiffness, and slowed motion, and requires deep brain stimulation.

Functional neurosurgery has witnessed tremendous progress, revolutionizing the treatment of chronic neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease to offer patients a better quality of life.

The nervous system is the primary system that connects the brain to the body, responsible for movement, sensation, memory, and control of involuntary functions.

As we age, brain functions begin to decline, but they can be maintained through mental challenge, proper nutrition, exercise, stress control, safety habits, and good sleep.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an advanced surgical procedure used to treat movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and dystonia. It delivers controlled electrical pulses to improve symptoms.
