For carefully selected patients with Parkinson’s disease, Essential Tremor, and Dystonia, deep brain stimulation offers a therapeutic surgical option that can reduce or eliminate movement-related problems and greatly improve quality of life.

What is Deep Brain Stimulation or DBS?

Deep Brain Stimulation , or DBS, is often described as a pacemaker for the brain. It works much like a pacemaker, sending electrical signals to the brain instead of the heart. DBS is primarily utilized for patients who have Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, or essential tremor, and who can’t adequately control their disease with medication. Before any patient is considered for the surgery, they are evaluated by the U-M interdisciplinary team.

That team includes a neurosurgeon, neurologist, clinical neuropsychologist, speech pathologist, social worker, and other team members who ensure that you and your family understand the procedure and discuss your expectations and concerns.

It’s important to understand that DBS does not offer a cure for your disease, but a way to manage it more effectively. It can offer many benefits, including the need to take less medication and therefore experience fewer medication side effects.
