Parkinson’s Disease with Deep Brain Stimulation Part - 2 | Manipal Hospitals Old Airport Road
Dr. Manjunath Mahadevappa, Consultant - Neurology, and Movement Disorders, and Dr. Sathwik R Shetty, Consultant - Neurosurgery, from Manipal Hospitals Old Airport Road, discuss Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), a cutting-edge treatment for Parkinson's disease, which helped Dr. Vincent Kanimba, a renowned gynaecologist from Rwanda. The doctors explain that as part of the treatment, electrodes are inserted into the affected brain regions wired to a device resembling a pacemaker and placed beneath the skin in the chest region. To activate the brain regions responsible for controlling unintentional movements and alleviating the symptoms of stiff and sluggish motions, the pacemaker uses wires to transfer impulses to electrodes.
