Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical procedure in which thin electrodes are implanted into specific deep structures of the brain to deliver continuous, precisely tuned electrical pulses that help calm abnormal brain signals. It is most commonly used to treat movement disorders — particularly Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia — when medications no longer provide adequate or consistent relief. A small pulse generator, similar to a cardiac pacemaker, is implanted under the skin of the chest and connected to the brain electrodes via wires running beneath the skin. The procedure can be performed with the patient awake (allowing real-time testing of electrode placement) or under general anaesthesia using advanced imaging guidance. Because the stimulation is fully adjustable and can be turned off or reprogrammed at any time, DBS is considered a reversible and flexible treatment — a key advantage over older lesion-based brain surgeries.
The pulse generator uses a non-rechargeable battery that lasts several years and is replaced through a minor surgical procedure when depleted.
Estimated cost: ~$1,000 – $1,500
Typical tests for this variant: High-resolution MRI brain (stereotactic protocol), CT brain (surgical planning), ECG, 2D Echocardiography, CBC, LFT, KFT, PT/INR, Neuropsychological assessment battery, Psychiatric evaluation, Anaesthesia fitness assessment. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $19,000 – $24,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3 days
Hospitalisation: ~6 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~18 days recommended
Total stay: approx 27 days
The pulse generator uses a rechargeable battery lasting a decade or more; the patient recharges it at home wirelessly, avoiding repeated replacement surgeries.
