Deep Brain Stimulation

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a nonsurgical treatment that uses small, controlled electrical impulses to target specific areas of the brain. This therapy is often used to reduce tremors and involuntary movements associated with neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, and dystonia. At Revere Health, we offer DBS as a way to help patients manage symptoms that do not respond well to medications, improving their quality of life and motor function.

How Deep Brain Stimulation Works
DBS involves the use of a small device, similar to a pacemaker, that sends electrical impulses to electrodes placed in specific areas of the brain. These impulses help regulate abnormal brain activity that causes movement-related symptoms. The electrical stimulation is adjustable, allowing doctors to fine-tune the therapy based on each patient’s needs.

Conditions Treated with DBS
Parkinson’s Disease: DBS can help reduce tremors, stiffness, and slow movement.
Essential Tremor: Used to control severe shaking that affects daily activities.
Dystonia: Helps manage involuntary muscle contractions that cause abnormal postures and movements.

Benefits of Deep Brain Stimulation
Effective Symptom Control: DBS can significantly reduce tremors and other motor symptoms, improving daily function.
Adjustable and Reversible: The treatment can be adjusted or stopped at any time based on the patient’s response, and it does not cause permanent changes to the brain.
Reduces Medication Dependence: DBS often allows patients to reduce their reliance on medications and their associated side effects.
