Brain Battery (DBS)

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a treatment that involves an implanted device that delivers an electrical current directly to areas of your brain. That current improves how well those parts work. It’s most often used for conditions like Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy.

What conditions and symptoms can DBS treat?

DBS has approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat the following conditions:

  • Dystonia.
  • Essential tremor
  • Medication-resistant epilepsy.
  • Parkinson’s disease (when this condition worsens and medication is not as effective).
  • Medication-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

Deep brain stimulation

What happens before (DBS)

1

Before this procedure

your healthcare provider will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of having a DBS device implanted. They’ll also explain the possible risks that come with this surgery.
2

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

and computed tomography (CT) scans of your brain. These scans will help your provider decide which location is the best place to place the wires for the DBS.
3

Medications you take

Before your procedure, your provider may have you stop taking some medications (such as blood thinners). You should only stop taking medications after discussing them with your provider.
4

Bathing and grooming

Your healthcare provider will likely give you instructions on how to bathe and prepare for the procedure. This commonly includes a special type of shampoo or other products that prepare your skin for the procedure.
5

Fasting

Because this surgery involves general anesthesia, your healthcare provider will have you fast. That means no solid food for at least eight hours before the procedure and no liquids for at least two hours before.
6

During (DBS)

The first one or two procedures are to insert the stimulation leads into each side of your brain at the same or separate times. The second procedure is to implant the stimulator battery under the skin of your upper chest.

Q & AAbout Brain Battery (DBS)

What is the success rate of deep brain stimulation?

In general, deep brain stimulation is usually successful. The success rate depends on the condition involved. For conditions like epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease, DBS is very effective.

Can I use electrical and electronic devices if I have DBS devices implanted?

In general, electronic devices and appliances shouldn’t cause any problems with the pulse generator. If they do, the most likely effect is that your pulse generator will switch off. This might not have an immediate effect, but sometimes you’ll notice that your symptoms get worse, or you’ll notice an unpleasant feeling or sensation.

In general, you should keep in mind the following:

Your healthcare provider will give you two key items you should keep nearby whenever possible: an ID card and a patient programmer. The ID card can help you in situations with certain kinds of electronic devices like metal detectors or anti-theft scanners. The patient programmer allows you to turn the device on and off, plus adjust settings for the stimulation if needed.

Home appliances, such as microwaves, computers, smartphones and other common electronics, shouldn’t cause any kind of interference or problems with your pulse generator.
Having one or more DBS leads and a pulse generator implanted in your body means you can’t have certain medical and diagnostic imaging procedures. The procedures you can’t have are magnetic resonance imaging scans, transcranial magnetic stimulation and diathermy.

Does deep brain stimulation cure the diseases for which it’s used?

No, DBS doesn’t cure conditions that it treats. It does treat the symptoms, but virtually all of the conditions that it treats are lifelong and not curable.

Will I still need to take medications after deep brain stimulation?

Depending on the disease, it may be possible to reduce medications. However, DBS is most helpful when used along with medications and other treatments. That’s because using it and other treatments at the same time means it may be possible to lower medication doses, have fewer side effects and still get the same benefits.

Does insurance cover deep brain stimulation?

Maybe insurances will cover DBS, especially if it has official approval to treat that condition. It’s important that you contact your insurance company to learn if they cover DBS procedures in any way.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a treatment option that can help with a wide range of conditions that affect your brain function and mental health. It’s almost always an option after other treatments and methods are unsuccessful. It’s most common for conditions like Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy, but researchers are also exploring the possibility of using it to treat many other conditions. While it does involve two to three surgeries, it’s also very effective at helping reduce symptoms and treat conditions that severely affect your quality of life.
