Deep Brain Stimulation Care for Movement Disorders
At the USC Deep Brain Stimulation Center, we provide care to decrease the symptoms of dystonia, essential tremor and other movement disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease. We use deep brain stimulation (DBS) when other medical and psychological treatments do not improve your condition.
Deep brain stimulation acts like a pacemaker for your brain. The device blocks abnormal electrical signals in your brain that can cause uncontrolled movements. It can also improve mobility for people who are slowed down by Parkinson’s disease. It doesn’t cure movement disorders, but it does relieve symptoms so you can be more independent and comfortable.
