What is Deep Brain Stimulation?
Deep brain stimulation involves placing thin electrodes in specific areas of the brain that control movement. These electrodes deliver controlled electrical signals that help regulate abnormal brain activity. The system is programmable and adjustable after surgery.
Awake vs Asleep DBS Surgery
Dr Vibha Gaonkar performs both:
- Awake DBS surgery, where patient feedback helps guide electrode placement.
- Asleep DBS surgery, using imaging and neurophysiological monitoring.
The choice depends on patient comfort, anatomy, and clinical factors.
DBS Programming and Follow-up
DBS does not end with surgery. DBS programming in Punjab is a critical step where stimulation settings are adjusted over multiple sessions to achieve optimal benefit with minimal side effects.
Life After DBS Surgery
Most patients resume routine activities within weeks. Improvement continues as programming is refined. DBS is not a cure, but it often provides long-term symptom control.
