Deep
brain stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical procedure involving the placement of a medical device called a neurostimulator (sometimes referred to as a "brain pacemaker"), which sends electrical impulses, through implanted electrodes, to specific targets in the
brain (brain nuclei) for the treatment of movement. Deep
brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical procedure used to treat several disabling neurological symptoms—most commonly the debilitating motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), such as tremor, rigidity, stiffness, slowed movement, and walking problems. Deep
brain stimulation. Deep
brain stimulation involves implanting an electrode deep within your brain. The amount of stimulation delivered by the electrode is controlled by a pacemaker-like device placed under the
skin in your chest. A wire that travels under your
skin connects the device to the electrode. The National Parkinson Foundation reports, “The risk of serious or permanent complications from DBS therapy is very low.”
Stroke from bleeding in the
brain constitutes a very small risk, and some patients may experience long-term challenges like numbness, slurred speech, and problems with vision.
Citations are important for a journal to get impact factor. Impact
factor is a measure reflecting the average number of citations to recent
articles published in the journal. The impact of the journal is influenced by impact factor, the
journals with high impact
factor are considered more important than those with lower ones. This information can be published in our peer reviewed journal with impact factors and are calculated using citations not only from research
articles but also review
articles (which tend to receive more citations), editorials, letters, meeting abstracts, short communications, and case reports.
