DBS Surgery

What is Deep Brain Stimulation?

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) involves planting 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.

Why choose China for DBS?

Our partner neurosurgical centers in Beijing and Shanghai utilize the latest generation of robotic guidance systems, ensuring sub-millimeter precision. Combined with board-certified professors who have performed over 1,000 procedures, China offers a world-class success rate at a significantly lower cost than the US or EU.

What to expect during the procedure?

1. Pre-surgical Mapping: High-resolution MRI and CT scans.
2. Lead Placement: Minimally invasive insertion of electrodes.
3. Neurostimulator Implantation: Placement of the “brain pacemaker”.
