What is Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)?

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery is a sophisticated neurosurgery operation used to treat movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia. It may also be suggested for specific psychiatric illnesses, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), when conventional therapies have failed. DBS improves quality of life by relieving symptoms like tremors, stiffness, and trouble moving.

Who should avail deep brain stimulation surgery in Turkey?

Patients who suffer from Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia, or severe, treatment-resistant OCD should seek DBS surgery in Turkey. DBS surgery can alleviate motor symptoms, tremors, enhance motor control, and reduce OCD severity for those who have not reacted well to previous treatments.
