Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery is a well-established neurosurgical therapy for the control of movement issues associated with Parkinson’s disease and essential tremors. After the successful placement of the DBS device by your neurosurgeon, Dr. Hashwani will start the intensive and sensitive task of DBS programming so that your neurostimulator can deliver the proper signals. This task may take more than one visit over the course of several weeks, but is needed to determine the optimal balance between alleviating symptoms and limiting side effects.
