Brain Pacemaker is a method implemented successfully in some neurological diseases such as Parkinson's, Epilepsy, Dystonia, which cause involuntary movement disorders in the body.
The brain pacemaker may be implemented for the following diseases:
- Parkinson's Disease
- Dystonia (a group of diseases in which the body is constantly twisted involuntarily)
- Tremor (tremor)
- Epilepsy (Episode Disease)
- Huntington's Disease (a genetic disease in which movement coordination is progressively impaired.
Thin cables are placed in the “brain nuclei” located in the middle part of the brain by a very sensitive method, and continuous electrical stimulation is given by a battery placed in the chest or abdomen. In this way, nerve cells whose electrical activity is impaired due to the disease are reorganized and the symptoms of the disease disappear.
A series of detailed examinations, imaging and neuro-psychiatric evaluation tests should be performed and the patient eligibility for this treatment should be demonstrated before the procedure.
The procedure is usually performed without anesthesia. An apparatus called “stereotactic frame” is placed on the patient's head, and coordinate calculations are made on the images taken. Targets are determined and cables are placed at these points with local anesthesia as a result of very precise calculations with advanced computer programs.
The Brain pacemaker procedure is successfully implemented by reputable centers in Turkey under the guarantee of RumiPulse! Contact us for detailed information.
