Deep brain stimulation
involves implanting electrodes within certain areas of your brain. These
electrodes produce electrical impulses that regulate abnormal impulses. Or, the
electrical impulses can affect certain cells and chemicals within the brain.
The amount of stimulation
in deep brain stimulation is controlled by a pacemaker-like device placed under
the skin in your upper chest. A wire that travels under your skin connects this
device to the electrodes in your brain.
Deep brain stimulation is
used to treat a number of neurological conditions, such as:
Ø Essential
tremor
Ø Dystonia
Ø Epilepsy
Ø Chronic
pain
Ø Obsessive
compulsive disorder
Deep brain stimulation is
also an experimental treatment for major depression, stroke
recovery, addiction
and dementia.
Results
Deep brain stimulation
won't cure your disease, but it may help lessen your symptoms. If deep brain
stimulation works, your symptoms will improve significantly, but they usually
don't go away completely. In some cases, medications may still be needed for
certain conditions. Deep brain stimulation isn't successful for everyone.
