Description of Deep Brain Stimulation:

What is Deep Brain Stimulation?
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical procedure in which a brain pacemaker, known as a neurostimulator is implanted. The brain pacemaker delivers constant electrical impulses to particular areas of the brain.

About Deep Brain Stimulation

Key facts to plan your treatment: how long it takes, your hospital stay, anaesthesia, risks and recovery.

Duration of surgery/treatment
The duration of the surgery depends on the steps involved, which may vary. If two electrodes are inserted, then the duration is longer. Some surgeries could take approximately 5 hours or more.
Days admitted
Approximately 3 days
Anesthesia
- The first stage of the surgery is done under local anesthesia.
- The second stage of the surgery is done under general anesthesia.
- If the surgery is performed on children, both the stages
Recovery
- The patient may be required to take antibiotics to prevent infection. - The patient may need to visit the neurologist several times after the surgery to adjust the stimulation with the help of programming. - The medications of the patient are adjusted after the surgery. - The stitches or staples are removed in 7 to 10 days after the surgery.
Risks
There are several risks of deep brain stimulation. However, if it is performed on properly selected patients, it is safe and effective. The risks of deep brain stimulation are as follows: - Allergic reaction to the implanted devices - Concentrating problems - Infection - Cerebrospinal fluid leakage leading to meningitis - Dizziness and balance loss - Movement disability - Vision and speech defect or disability - Swelling of the surgical site where the devices are implanted - Breakage or dysfunction of the implanted devices and wires - Coma - Brain swelling - Stroke - Seizures
After care
- The incision area should be kept dry and covered, and should be changed according to the requirements. - The patient’s head can be washed using a damp cloth carefully avoiding the surgical region. - The day after the stitches or staples are removed, the patient’s hair can be washed gently. - The patient should avoid scratching the surgical wound. - Light activities, such as housework and sexual activity, should be avoided for 2 weeks after the surgery. - Heavy physical activities, such as jogging and swimming, should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks after the surgery. - The patient should avoid lifting heavy objects for 2 to 4 weeks after the surgery. - If the doctor permits, the patient may return to work in 4 to 6 weeks after the surgery. - Some places may contain devices such as theft detectors, which may affect the neurostimulator that causes an uncomfortable sensation. The patient should always carry a medical identification card to request assistance to avoid such devices. - A magnet will be provided to activate or deactivate the neurostimulator. This magnet may harm other devices like TV or credit cards. So the magnet should be kept away from these devices. - The batteries of the pulse generator need to be replaced in 3 to 5 years. This can be done in an outpatient procedure. If the following symptoms are experienced, the doctor should be contacted immediately: - Fever - Severe headaches - Bleeding from the surgical area - Infection or irritation in the incision area - Vision impairment - Nausea and vomiting - Speech difficulty - Weakness - Numbness or a tingling sensation on a part of the body
