Deep Brain Stimulation- A Novel Approach For Relieving Neurological Disorders: A Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medicine surgery and Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical procedure involving the implantation of a medical device called a neurostimulator (brain pacemaker) which transmits electrical impulses through embeded electrodes to specific sites of brain (brain nuclei) for the treatment of problem in movement and neuropsychiatric disorders. DBS in certain sites of brain has provided therapeutic benefits for disorders which are not treatable. This review highlights the principle mechanism of action of deep brain stimulation (DBS) advantages, limitations and it’s amazing application in the management of various neurological disorders.
