Overview
Parkinson’s is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by the loss of dopamine-producing neurons, leading to tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia.
Procedure
Managed with dopaminergic medications (Levodopa). Advanced cases are treated with Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery.
✅ Benefits
Significant reduction in tremors and rigidity, decreased medication-induced dyskinesia, and improved daily functioning.
⚠️ Risks
Surgical risks include brain hemorrhage (<1%), infection, or hardware malfunction. DBS does not cure the disease.
🔄 Recovery
Medications: Ongoing. DBS: 2-3 days hospital stay, 2-4 weeks recovery, followed by device programming.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is DBS brain surgery safe?
Yes, when performed at high-volume centers, DBS is a routine, safe procedure with a very low risk of severe complications.
Will I still need medications after DBS?
Most patients still need medications, but dosages are typically reduced by 30-50%, minimizing side effects.
