Exploring The Role Of The Neurologist in DBS Surgery
It has been established that deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a successful treatment for dystonia, epilepsy, and Parkinson’s disease that is medically refractory. Appropriate patient selection, safe and exact surgery, and suitable postoperative medication and stimulation modifications are all necessary for DBS to be effective. The neurologist’s primary responsibility in DBS treatment is patient selection. Neurologists who introduce DBS to patients who would benefit much from it should know the proper usage and safety measures. The treatment should be administered by neurologists who are completely aware of any possible side effects and how to prevent or avoid them.
