WHAT IS DEEP BRAIN STIMULATION? DBS consist of implanted electrodes that provide continuous tiny electrical currents into deep structures of the brain. 6 Deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapeutical procedure in A B S T R A C T Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical procedure involving the implantation of a medical device called a neurostimulator (brain pacemaker) which transmits electrical impulses through embeded electrodes to specific sites of brain (brain nuclei) for the treatment of problem in movement and neuropsychiatric disorders. DBS in certain sites of brain has provided therapeutic benefits for disorders which are not treatable. This review highlights the principle mechanism of action of deep brain stimulation (DBS) advantages, limitations and it's amazing application in the management of various neurological disorders.
