Why choose SGVP Holistic Hospital for Deep Brain Stimulation Treatment in Ahmedabad?
What is Deep Brain Stimulation?
What is Deep Brain Stimulation?
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a surgical procedure in which electrodes are implanted in targeted brain regions to send electrical impulses. These impulses can help regulate abnormal brain activity and relieve symptoms of various neurological conditions, especially movement disorders.
Deep brain stimulation functions in a manner similar to a pacemaker for the brain. By modulating the brain signals, DBS can help improve symptoms like tremors, rigidity, stiffness, and muscle contractions.
One major advantage of DBS is that it is adjustable and reversible, offering flexibility compared to other surgical approaches that destroy the brain tissue.
The therapy is usually recommended for patients who no longer respond well to medications or experience severe side effects.
At SGVP Holistic Hospital, our experts in the neurology department offer the best deep brain stimulation in Ahmedabad, while ensuring patient safety and comfort alongside effective treatment results.
Components of the Deep Brain Stimulation System
The deep brain stimulation system is composed of three primary parts, including the following:
- Leads (Electrodes): They are thin, insulated wires surgically placed in specific areas of the brain. These wires deliver the targeted electrical stimulation to the brain.
- Implantable Pulse Generator: It is a battery-powered device implanted under the skin near the chest or abdomen region. It helps generate the electrical impulses.
- Extension Wire: It is an insulated wire that runs under the skin and connects the electrodes in the brain to the pulse generator.
An external programming device is used by the neurologist post-surgery to adjust the stimulation levels without additional surgery.
Conditions and Symptoms Treated by Deep Brain Stimulation
Conditions and Symptoms Treated by Deep Brain Stimulation
Deep brain stimulation treatment helps treat various movement-related disorders and neurological conditions, including the following:
- Parkinson’s disease

What Happens Before Deep Brain Stimulation?
Before the DBS procedure, patients at SGVP Holistic Hospital undergo a thorough screening process that involves both diagnostic tests and preoperative preparation to determine the patient’s eligibility for the procedure and ensure safety.
- Neurological examination: A movement disorder specialist or neurologist will assess the patient’s motor symptoms, cognitive function, and responsiveness to medication.
- MRI scan/CT scan: High-resolution imaging helps map the brain structures and identify precise targets for electrode placement.
- Neuropsychological testing: It helps evaluate memory, concentration, mood, and emotional health.
- Medication response test: The test monitors the symptom severity when certain medications are temporarily reduced or paused.
- General health tests: Includes ECG (electrocardiogram), chest X-ray, and blood tests to confirm if the patient is fit for surgery.
The following are the preparation steps followed before DBS:
- Our neurologists, neurosurgeons, psychologists, and anesthesiologists collaborate to finalize the surgical plan for the patient.
- The patient and caregivers are educated about the benefits, risks, and long-term expectations from the procedure.
- Advanced software tools like brain mapping and imaging data are used to plan a safe and effective surgery.
- The patient may be asked to stop some medicines, like blood thinners, a few days before the procedure.
- Fasting instructions will be provided by the doctor.

The possible risks associated with surgery are:
- Infection
