Getting DBS Therapy

With deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy, the DBS system is surgically implanted. Your hospital stay is generally brief, and after your body has healed, a clinician programs the stimulator. It can be adjusted to achieve the best symptom control for you.

Factors Your Doctor May Consider

DBS is not right for everyone with dystonia. Only a doctor experienced with DBS can determine if you are a candidate.

Your Healthcare Team

With DBS therapy, a team consisting of a neurologist, a neurosurgeon, and nurses works together to help you manage your treatment for dystonia.
