    DBS is a surgical treatment for Parkinson’s disease and movement disorders. It stimulates the brain directly to reduce shaking, stiffness, and slowness. It improves quality of life & reduces high-dose medications.

    Vagus Nerve Stimulation Illustration

    Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)

    VNS is a device-based therapy for Epilepsy. VNS stimulates the Vagus nerve in the neck to regulate brain electricity. It reduces the frequency & intensity of seizures.

    MRI guided fractioned ultrasound - MRGFUS for parkinson's

    MRI Guided Ultrasound (MRg-FUS)

    MRg-FUS is a quick & “bloodless” procedure for Parkinson’s disease. It markedly reduces shaking. It is a good choice for patients who are afraid of DBS surgery.
