Advanced Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation (aDBS) in India for Parkinson’s Disease, Essential Tremor, Dystonia & OCD

What is Deep Brain Stimulation?

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical procedure that uses a surgically implanted medical device, similar to a heart pacemaker, to deliver electrical impulses to specific areas of the brain. These impulses help regulate abnormal brain activity, providing significant improvement in symptoms for various neurological conditions.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience with Dr. Ajay Hegde and the entire hospital team during my mother’s DBS surgery. Dr. Ajay Hegde explained the procedure clearly, step by step, before the surgery, which gave us great confidence and trust. He was very patient, approachable, and supportive throughout the entire process. The surgery went very smoothly, and we always felt that my mother was in safe and experienced hands. The hospital staff were also extremely kind, caring, and helpful whenever we needed assistance. The entire team made what could have been a stressful experience much more comfortable for our family. We are truly grateful to Dr. Ajay Hegde for his excellent care, guidance, and support. Seeing the positive changes in my mother after the DBS surgery has been very encouraging, and we highly recommend him to anyone considering DBS.

I was fortunate to have Dr. Ajay Hegde (Neurosurgeon) as the lead surgeon as well as Dr Shiva Kumar as my Neurologist.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I should really appreciate our amazing doctors implementing DBS which is a modern day treatment in namma Bengaluru. This treatment has improved the quality of life in my mother. The before and after the surgery, I can see a lot of improvement from cooking to changing her own clothes, from getting up from her seat to walking, the pain, the embarrassment from people always staring at her and giving her advises has stopped. She has become more confident as a person. I can see that confidence in her face in her attitude. I would recommend anyone who has Parkinsons to go forward with DBS. No side effects and recovery period is faster. Thank you Dr Ajay for taking care of my mom like a real son and making sure she is comfortable through out the treatment and post surgery too. Thank you Dr Raghavendra for recommending DBS and building confidence in my mom.

Know More

Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation (aDBS) represents a cutting-edge evolution in neuromodulation therapy, particularly for Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders. Unlike traditional DBS, aDBS operates as a “closed-loop” system that dynamically responds to a patient’s brain activity in real time. aDBS relies on three main elements: sensing electrodes implanted in the subthalamic nucleus, Medtronic’s Percept PC with BrainSense technology, and sophisticated algorithms.

Know More

Like any surgical procedure, DBS has potential risks, including infection, bleeding, and device-related complications. However, with our experienced team and advanced technology, these risks are minimized. We will discuss all potential risks and benefits with you in detail during your consultation.
