Deep Brain Stimulation

If nonsurgical treatments don’t relieve your symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor or dystonia, you may benefit from deep brain stimulation.

This advanced treatment places electrodes in your brain and connects them – via a wire under the skin – to a small device implanted in your chest. This device, called a neurostimulator, sends out painless electrical pulses to block nerve signals that cause your symptoms.

To see if you qualify for deep brain stimulation, you’ll meet with a movement disorder specialist for an evaluation. If you receive surgery, see your movement disorders team regularly for follow-up care. We’ll adjust your neurostimulator settings as needed so you get the most benefit from your device.
