Deep brain stimulation (DBS) treatment requires a brain surgery that involves implanting of electrodes or probes in the brain. These DBS electrodes emit small electric pulses or microcurrents to target specific regions in the brain.

Depending on the region of the brain targeted, Deep Brain Stimulation treatment can resolve psychiatric disorders and also Movement Disorders, especially with ease for those suffering with Parkinson's Disease.

Dr. Andres Lozano from University of Toronto says, “About 90,000 people now worldwide have received deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease."

A very expensive therapy, and is usually recommended only as last line of treatment for most patients. We feel magnetic stimulation should be the first line of treatment, as it is side-effect free compared to medical treatments. Deep Brain Stimulation surgery can cost anywhere between twenty-five thousand to fifty thousand dollars. Very expensive indeed!
